[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5852314"] Yes, as I said that's my ideal realm for elf ears. Bigger than Vulcan, smaller than Blood Elves [IMG]http://postplusgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Female_Blood_Elf.sized_.jpg[/IMG] This is a [I]little[/I] on the large end of ears in my book, but I don't think it's unreasonable for an elf in the slightest. I called your [I]argument[/I] pathetic, not your tastes, your tastes are IMO, misguided. You're welcome to not like WoW, but I would appreciate it if you didn't like it on the basis of your experiences with it, not simply some abstract idea you have of it in your head. This is common problem and the root of a lot of edition warring on this forms: hating on something without actually having experienced it and thus, only have a twisted, exaggerated idea of what it is in your head. I'm not suggesting that things from WoW [I]should[/I] be used in D&D, in fact I'm highly favorable to the idea that your character can look pretty much however it wants as long it falls along the general lines of racial decriptors. In fact I'd love to see all the variants of Elves(Eladrin, Sun, Moon, Wood, Drow) get a fairly unique look isntead of just being the same elf with a different skin-color or hair-do. Anyway my point was simply that if there's something good and appealing in ANYWHERE in the fantasy genre, Wizards should look to that and see how it can [I]improve[/I] D&D. If it won't improve D&D, then don't use it, if it can however, it should be investigated. I think you misunderstand, or are being purposefully obtuse. Strange, since Rules Lawyers, Power-gamers, Min-Maxers, people with a sense of entitlement, people who want to "win" have existed since the very beginning of the game. If there is a game, some people believe it can be won, if there are numbers, people will look for ways to maximize those numbers. That doesn't make them bad people. I've had some seriously fun games with power-gamers, min-maxers and rules lawyers. To dicsount the whole because of some is bigotry this genre can no longer tolerate. If D&D continues to lose players and make less money, Hasbro [I]will[/I] can it. I'd just like the typical elf to be a little more than a pointy-eared human who lives in a tree. If slightly elongated ears help with that, great. [/QUOTE]
