MTV Multiplayer writes: "Last month, some "Age of Conan" forum members discovered that female characters in the MMO swing their weapons slower than males, causing them to do significantly less damage over time.
Developers at Funcom stated earlier this week that they "never intended for any character to be stronger/weaker than another based on its gender." They said the fix will be coming in the next several weeks.
Reading about this topic on a few other gaming blogs, I noticed a few comments from people who thought there should be differences between male and female avatars in terms of physical abilities. Here's what I found:"
It's another Birthday for a successful MMO, this time Age of Conan.

No.
Why? There was this girl in my class, who could kick my ass easily. She wasn't a body builder or anything like that, she was just badass. Luckily we are friends, so I'm safe. :P
Yeah, stronger and slower and not as limber.
By and large, passed down in history and genetics the male is dominate. Why should we have to sugar coat and change **** around to make people live in a bigger fantasy world than they are already playing in?
Please. It's like Spike Lee telling Clint Eastwood he should have had Black Soldiers hoisting the Flag at Uwajima. Doesn't make sense. It's like how they had 3 white fire fighters lifting a flag after the towers fell and on the statue they made they had 1 black one, a white one and a Mexican one. Where's the Indian?
See what I mean? They change enough history around and as Napoleon said "History is a lie agreed upon" but the truth is the truth.
So, in closing, you might have 1 or 2 or 10 or 100 bad ass women out of 1000 men that could be tougher/stronger/ whatever but statistically and genetically it's always been
Male > Female when it comes to overall physical prowess/barring giving birth of corse. And until they incorporate that into a game, it should reamin as such.
Women aren't stronger in real life,
Why should they be in video games?
LMAO
