AoC Bug Penalizes Female Characters?

Massively is reporting that there may be an unintended (according to FunCom) bug in the new MMO Age of Conan that would cause female characters to do significantly less damage over time. It seems that as the initial "shiny factor" wears off for the new darling MMO, the bugs and complaints just continue to pile up resulting in a fair bit of buyer's remorse. "In the meantime, some ingenious players have provided fixes along the lines of the 'unsheath your weapon to fix your mount speed' trick. Poster Dnotice even provides evidence that variation in listed attack speed may be down to the gender of the first character you log in when starting AoC, and not the gender of the character you may be playing at the time. Curiouser and curiouser: although the listed speed can be altered by changing the first character's gender, the actual animation speed apparently can't."

Ah the joys of a juvenile mind

it seems someone is having problems reaching climax, claiming that female characters do less damage over time and asking them to "unsheath your weapon to fix your mount speed' trick."

Yeah, that made this 27-year old man child laugh....

You know games have bugs, a lot of them, and people aways act surprised every time comes (missing word) to light. Why is it then that people always buy something the day it his the selves then complain when it is broken,(punctuation) I know it shouldn't be broken, but more times that not there is an issue that needs to be addressed when you first load up the game and have to download a huge patch just to start playing the game.

That's why I'm waiting for Comment #23751937 version 1.1 for all the bug fixes.
