people hate gnomes in WoW because they are silly and cute, and they are 14 y/o quasi-nihilists who think everything needs to be "totally badass"

 

[FalseTodd]

also the size of a gnome makes the game "unrealistic", in some people's opinions, because...well me, for example, my character is like 2'9" and has things 4 stories tall hitting him with big sticks

but, um, there's like dragons and wizards and stuff so i fail to see the issue

 

[FalseTodd]

oops two posts, sorry

 

[FalseTodd]

honestly its really just the first one

 

[minxnim]

um sam people hit you with sticks? that sucks.

 

[FalseTodd]

it's the price you pay for being 1337

 

[minxnim]

whoa

will the people who write music reviews of obscure indie bands to be read by other people who write reviews of obscure indie bands please stop calling me a nerd?



jk lolz!

 

[avi]

yeah, but us indie music nerds get the chicks

 

[minxnim]

seriously.... uh i am popular.

sayin.

oh i thought it was something deeper, like "gnomes gyrocopters and firecannon mean they can strike a killing blow unchallenged against a wizard-level giant seventy percent of the time, and they also can create mechanical walls so they can double loot" or something gamewise.

in other words, i expected nerdier.

 

[FalseTodd]

no - there are only minor differences between races in the game, aside from appearance. the extra abilities races get are usually nothing to cause much of a furor (gnomes can escape from nets and such, and get a bonus if they choose the engineering profession) although a few do get people's ire up slightly.

class differences (i.e. warrior vs. mage vs. etc, etc, etc) is where the real shouting matches are

See, Marx was right, it is about class warfare.
