   HA! Female characters should go back to the casting classes where they belong!

   Hmm, perhaps that subtle bit of sexism has been affecting me. Time to double the dosage of the happy pills, my doctor says.

   Gotta wonder if they were collecting metrics on this. If so, were they looking at the proper data? Boggles the mind that such a huge discrepancy wouldn’t be caught. Unless this is some master plan to encourage people to be sexist pigs when they exclude female melee classes from groups.

   I don’t think I would have thought to run tests and parse logs for every single race/class/gender combination, though. (Maybe if I could make QA do it, muahaha.)
