This just in! Women cause drama!
Or, rather, guilds that specifically state they won't recruit women start drama. Nihilum, one of the most well-known, farthest progressing guilds on World of Warcraft (EU) have been reported on in a WoW-Insider article.

Top EU guild Nihilum is recruiting a few serious Horde raiders on Magtheridon (EU). And not that I play on the EU side of things, but if I did, I wouldn't be welcome to apply. Why? According to GM Kungen, there are a lot of reasons they don't recruit females, but the one he highlights is the need for recruits to have a "high 'abuse tolerance.'" And a bit later in the thread, poster Awake adds that female applicants are avoided because of drama. And while I know there are immature girl gamers who can bring plenty of drama to a guild, I know equally immature guys who can be just as bad. So to me, personally, it makes better sense to simply not recruit idiots of either sex.

There is wank in the comments. Oh, is there ever wank. Unfortunately it's hard to link directly to specific posts.

Someone, naturally, brings this topic to wow_ladies, and there is even more commenting. Most of them seem to be of the same nature (that it's extremely unfair), but there are some rather good points, and some... well, tl;dr ones. Most importantly, someone comments randomly with one of my favorite icons. :D

The point is, no matter what, it's all Nihilum's fault for being a bunch of thirteen year old boys who think girls are icky, have no lives, etc. etc. Not unlike Toronto, everyone hates Nihilum. And Death and Taxes is recruiting, and likes girls. Or something.

Note: The link in the WoW-Insider article to Nihilum's newspost doesn't seem to work, so I have no way of verifying what it said. As a rather interesting bonus, this is Awake's interview with WoW-Insider.

My apologies for the last wank report posted, this one's been around for a little while, it shouldn't get deleted.

Edit: It was for the lulz! Thank you kindly, [info]onaga
