I don't think anyone would have as much of the problem with Elins as they do now if they looked something like this
I'm just saying.......

Stereotyping everyone that plays an Elin as a pedophile.

BlueHoleStudio looking at this thread...

Really doubt it...
They have one more person who likes their game, and should understand that people have many different reasons for playing games.

Interesting... It's the one race you couldn't pay me to play... Sorry, I just think they look stupid as hell and I hate even seeing them running around myself... They are even more ridiculous then little furry animal CHRs running around... (I am in favor of options to support a variety of players however, so...)

To each their own though I guess...

To each their own indeed

I also believe I can understand where you are coming from... that race looks so out of place? Why are they even here? They look so small and weak... how do they do anything? They don't fit in the universe!

Yeah... probably something along those lines...

But, I sort of like that even in and of itself, watching my character beat a monster 40x the size of itself is twice as satisfying as watching my character beat a monster that is 20x the size of herself ;D

And if the Elin are "the only thing separating TERA from other MMOs" what's going to happen when B&S comes out? Are you going to jump ship to try out the Lyn?

Male Lyn test really high in the Catholic Priest and Creepy Uncle departments. So the answer to that would be: I would have more problems with a game supporting playing little boys than I would with one playing only little girls.

I would almost guarantee that would be false if someone actually did some testing into that.

Not because those people dislike little boys, but because the people loudest against something are usually closet cases that are ashamed of themselves.

Take homosexual rights as an example, how many of the champions against homosexual's have been found out to be hiring [filtered] prostitutes themselves?

I think its about the same here, people that are able to acknowledge Elin for what they are are for the most part healthy individuals, Weather they like or dislike the Elin have nothing to do with it. But those running around screaming everyone that likes Elins are pedophiles are the ones that really have a issue.

EDIT: G ay is filtered? really? Enmasse has more issues then I thought.

Stereotyping everyone that plays an Elin as a pedophile is like saying everyone that plays a popori is a zoophile (spelling?) or every male that plays a male castanic or male high elf is homosexual. That's simply not true. Was there a study done where they could judge a person's sexual preference based on what race,gender,class a person played in an mmo? I'm sorry I must have missed that. I can honestly care less for anyone's reason for playing any given class or race.
I stated above Elin were ones of my last choices in a race to play. After playing one I had a blast I found it entertaining watching them flip around and jumping backward. I found the animations to be well done. Judging anyone based on that is like 2+2=shoe.

To be honest I have no clue where sexual preference comes in at all. My first impressions of tera was, Aman token bad @$$es, high elves token elves, Elin token cute race. How sex got involved I'll never know. Other then maybe a teenage boy going heheh castanic boobies, I don't see how people got to OMG pedo race. Even then it's laughable that people make a fuss about bikini armor. It's a fantasy game.. I saw star wars as a kid and wanting to be a jedi. Does that mean I secretly wanted some creepy old hermit to teach me? again see the equation above.

This dudes got it right about the ones running around screaming having issues. (disclaimer I do not have children, but my point is valid) Quick scenario. I have someone at my house and my kid is running around acting goofy, playing, being a kid. But doesn't have a shirt on. (I know I was always tearing clothes off as a kid). This person says to you "You got a cute kid " Is that going to instantly set red flags off? How about this, same thing kid running around and the person says to you "I'm really not comfortable with your kid being here without a shirt" I'm sorry that person is headed for a face full of window in a hurry. Are these people that immature where they can involve sex into everything? Or are you that insecure that having an Elin running around is making them uncomfortable?

Its sad and sick that this does really happens I personally play games like this to escape for maybe an hour or two (lol ok maybe more) It's really sad that this cold harsh reality has to be brought into someones small escape from it.

I would quit the game, no threats, no post's. Just leave. I'm not alone on this.

I think you misunderstood, I said the exact opposite of that.

People who did not even see a issue at all with Elin = healthy
People overly outraged with Elin = people with issues themselves.

Of course this wont apply to everyone. But its going to be true more often then not.

The steps to solving the issue.
1, Close the thread.

2. Close the thread.

3. Close the thread.

4. Close the thread.

5. State that the changes are final, of high quality, and all who complain are silly

6. Close the thread.

Glad so many people are only playing a game to play as a scantily dressed pre-teen model.
