Okay, this thread is just screaming "CLOSE ME!" and I have to agree with it.

You've targeted this person. Why? Because they pretend to be someone they aren't? Well guess what. This is the internet. Everyone pretends to be someone they aren't.

Whether it be pretending you have a different attitude, lying about your social life, income, physical attributes, etc. There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing the role of a female on Graal. People play the roles of orcs, goblins, elves, foxes, pirates, knights, fantasy bomy creatures, yet they can't change gender?

As for pretending to be a girl to get staff positions... WHAT? If the staff are corrupt and hire female players just because they are female, that is a completely different story. I know of it happening in the past. (that girl laura or lara or whomever) I am strongly against hiring females to work as staff for Graal, because I know that those "females" usually don't have to do much but flirt to get their position.

With that being said, I can understand that pretending to be a girl and then flirting/cybering your way into staff positions is bad. But the real issue does not focus on that, the real issue is the people that hire them.

The population of female players on Graal is REALLY low. One of the biggest reasons for this is because every time a girl starts to play, they are immediately branded as a guy that is pretending to be a girl. This person in question, has done nothing wrong in my mind. It is the person that started this thread, that needs to think about their actions.

Closed.
