"Heeeey Celestial Hills! Caerbannog here!"




"That's right, I'm talkin' to y'all today about the State of Looking for Group, what some of y'all refer to as /LFG."




"Y'see, I've got this eensie-teensie-weensie favor to ask/beg/plead from the majority of you lot...It's something that's become quite an epidemic..."




"STICK TO THE FREAKING LORE!!! Elins are NOT flarkin' F###s!!! Yes, I'm pointin' at YOU! I'm 4th Wallin' right to your screen, as mean and cranktastic and vicious as my fuzzy-britched namesake, *...nasty, big, pointy teeth!*, et all!"




"I mean, for Elinu's sake, do you HONESTLY think these shorts permit enough room to tuck n' stuff? NO SIR! I think NOT!"




"We are pretty-little-princesses, formed in the likeness of Arun's youngest daughter. We have GIRLY BITS! HOLES! We have innies, not outies!"




"So please, pretty-pretty-please, with a cherry on top...! Won't you think of the LORE! Every time you roll a F###-Elin, Lok gets his hands on the pretty jiggly-topped women and makes them shrivel and sag. And you don't wanna see them jubblies wobbling about when they be dancy-dancin! No-sir-ee-Bob!"




~Bats her eyelashes to the Community of Celestial Hills.~ "...So PLEASE, don't make me show y'all what *...a vicious streak a mile wide...* can really mean!"




"Thank you...That is all! Peace out n' love to Elinu!" ~Cheesy-winks and blown kisses!~

I admit, I lol'd at the tuck and stuff picture.

forgive me my pedantry, but a creature that cannot reproduce has no need of any reproductive organs. I know that will upset a lot of you (and if it does, please consider why that troubles you) but if people are going to defend the lore; I'd hope they werent filling the blanks themselves. :\
Once again, I hate to have to find some issue with the post when your intentions are clearly good, and I'm glad something is being said at least.
(inb4 pack of elin 'fans' descend on me like starving wolves)

I'm snickering at the wording of "filling the blanks themselves" for far too many reasons. This post, in itself, was purely random for several reasons.

The screenshots were taken while I was figuring out what to use for Caerbannog's bio/profile picture and when I saw the one used in "tuck & stuff", added with the current state of /LFG every-single-day, combined with a rowdy Skype conversation some friends of mine and I had last night? It made for a rofly-ranty-post.

/hugs to all n' popcorn to the Troll-a-lols!

P.S.

*Takes a bow.*

Rowdy?! *gasps* Why I never.....

Yeah, most people are turning off LFG, the crap gets old fast. I just feel sorry for the folks that have to use it to find a decent group.

Basically this. I have mine filtered to a separate tab, and ended up using Instance Matching for most of my dungeon runs.

It was and continues to be a tradeoff between getting Dragonfall folks or having to sift through the mountain of whatever in LFG.

I'm actually not very crazy about the Elin, but until the lore writers state something specifically, your assumptions are just that -- assumptions. Not fact. A lot of people don't know/realize that Blue Hole pulled TERA's lore out of their asses. Originally the game wasn't even going to have a story (or at least presented on the scale that it is now). The lore is incomplete and they're still working on it. Not to mention all of the localization tweaks, edits, and cuts that En Masse's translation team had to do. Until we hear specifically in-game or from En Masse that something happens/operates a certain way, our musings aren't much more than petty conjecture.


As for the case at hand... I'd find this thread a lot more amusing with there were a lot less pics and if they were of a more attractive-looking Elin. Right now it just seems like an annoying, bratty eyesore that I can't take seriously -- and neither will the majority of this server. Trolls will be trolls. This thread won't change that (sadly), nor will it make En Masse crack down and force their crappy GMs to do their crappy jobs and ban the idiots (or at least give them warnings).

If you don't like it, turn the channel off. It's not hard. Otherwise, deal with it/ignore it. Because EME definitely isn't gonna do anything about it, as they haven't already.
