What Race do you like?

  Human. They are the most balanced ;\

  I'm not hating on elves. It's the truth that they need more numbers in order to defeat giants. Back then during the Tara Banquet, there were like ten elves fighting me and another giant, and they kept spamming their range but the moment we transformed, one full swing took out their sage mode.

  
  
  Damage of full swing? Level of said elves? Full Swing is known for it's high damage. 40K damage screenshot, anyone? I won't even deny that this can happen.
  
  

  I don't know about you but I've never seen two or more giants fight one elves more than I do see 7 elves being hyenas on one giant with Eiry. Also, NA has a troll in almost every corner. I'm sure Europe is blessed to not know what a troll is.

  
  Actually, I see giants and elves being equally stupid. The giants just feel the need to point this out a lot because it makes them sound like the underdog while at the same time they're trying to talk about how amazing their damage is. "Help! I do amazing damage with full swing but I still somehow am an underdog. Ahh!"
  
  

  And for my signature I didn't intend to look like an elitist but I wanted to show the community that we do not back down even if we had to take on like 50 elves with insufficient help or no help at all.

  
  It comes across as offensive because you imply that giants can take on more elves, making them superior. If you want something non-offensive then race doesn't need to be mentioned at all. Keeping it in your sig just means that you still want to believe that it takes a lot of wee elves to defeat the amazing giant.
  
  

  If you look at Facebook and youtube comments towards giants, there's flaming almost everywhere from ELF MAIN PLAYERS. Look at an elf video and tell me how many flames from "MAIN GIANT PLAYERS, NOT HUMAN/HUMAN ALLIES" are there to elves.

  
  Look at the forums and see how many GIANT AND HUMAN players are bashing the elves outright, INCLUDING A STAFF MEMBER.
  
  

  I acknowledge that there are non-troll elves and there are idiot giants, but the ratio of Stupid Elves and Normal Giants are like over 9000:1

  Horrendous generalization, even if it's an exaggeration.
  
  

  Don't want those stupid elves trampling on the appearance of giants calling them fat tards and homos after the renewal

  
  Giants did this to elves even without any renewal.
  
  

  I also know that there are strong elves that can fight their own battles. Elves who fight their own battles with no outside help from elves that shoot 1 damage arrows are respectable.

  
  
  This is true from both sides. Generalizations from either side should not be made.
  
  Personally, because of how often elves are bashed, I'm almost wary of talking to a giant or a giant-sided human. I'll literally have days when I'm standing there doing nothing at all while I wait for a PTJ or a friend, and someone comes up to me and says "ew, elf". "Elves are such noobs", "I hate elves". GIANTS getting beef for looking girly? Have you seen an elf lately? Elves get this all the time. And your "Example Comments"? They're not coming out of elves/elf-sided people only. They're coming from the giant side too, and quite often.
  
  Someone on the Nexon forum posted an instance of an elf training in a newb area, and getting hurt. Then, when a human (the person that posted) tries to help, the elf sort of runs away. Eventually the elf stops and realizes nothing bad is going to happen. The human heals the elf and the elf says "I didn't know humans could be so nice." Apparently the elf, so new, had already been experiencing elf-bashing from humans and giants. Elves/elf-sided humans do this too of course, but no side should be allowed to pretend that their side is the more righteous one.
  
  I hate EvG with a passion for this reason. I'm too scared to help my friend because even if there's more than one giant around, there well always be that stereotype of "OH LOOK THE POOR ELF NEEDS HELP QQ" and people will have a reason to call me a range camper because I chose to go the range path and it's the only way I can competently help my friend. And then, I'll get camped, and people will cry about what campers elves are.

  Wow. This elf VS giant thing is hilarious. I thought it was originally just part of the storyline, but I didn't know actual people could take it so seriously hahahahaha. Geez, it's just a game. I doubt that elves are as weak as people say because most of those 5 elves VS 1 giant elves are probably low-leveled alts people made to camp with. Most of the time, the elf PVPers I see look low-leveled anyway coughmodscough. And as well, who cares if people think giants are ugly? As long as the people playing the giants think their characters are beautiful, so be it.
  
  Also, all camping is bad whether it's magic camping, range camping, or melee camping. Or alchemy camping.
  
  Well humans for the win! I like to stay neutral unless I have to side with the elves to use a cold wind-rod, but I never PVP anyway so it's all okay~
  
  By the way, I'm sure all of Tibaroo's comments about elves aren't serious. He's just kind of roleplaying a character on the forums. But the people who honestly think elves suck because of what Tibaroo says are just plain stupid. After all, he's never really given any reasons or made any big long posts describing the pros/cons of both races. He just says ELVES SUCK FILTHY SCUM all the time. How can anyone take that seriously?

  imo, Elves > Giants > Humans
  
  The human's versatility isn't worth much since their range easily falls to elves

  
  
  You're too funny.

  Humans FTW!
  
  I like elves( so many clothes you can wear!)
  I absolutely love giants (something about fighting with big-sword&shield puts me on fire)
  BUT, my vote goes for the balanced human.
  ps. ONLY HUMANS CAN PLAY G1~3!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :XD:

  The reason people talk about elves like this is because it was and may still be true. Consequently there is and will continue to be a backlash. Of course, it's all exaggerated...

  Mmm, my elf friend who loves elves thinks the whole thing is silly as well. If someone is going to judge you based on the race of the character you play in an online game, they're not even worth arguing with.

  Kinda off-topic, but I have to say, I really hate it when people say this. I think most of us know this is a game, no need to remind us in a condescending tone.
  You probably didn't mean it, but it comes off that way, and it's really annoying.

  The funny thing is, "most" Elves and Giant mains are minding their own business. It's the humans who love to abuse the crap out of EvG.

  I can't decide! i like all three races since all they're are cool in their own little special way.

  Sorry if it sounded like something else, but when I said "it's just a game", I actually meant the elf VS giant thing is like...just part of the storyline. Like the racial anger between the two was only supposed to be part of the game, not taken into real life discrimination. I guess saying that was misleading.
  
  Also, honestly in EVG, the race doesn't matter at all. The people playing behind the giants are not better than those behind the elves and vice versa. Or humans. I don't see why anybody needs to insult each other just because of the in-game race. Everyone who says they see more elves abusing EVG or more giants or more humans doing it just sound biased anyway. =/ Elves will just say giants insult them more (or giant-sided humans) and giants will just say elves insult them more (or elf-sided humans), so it's really just a lose/lose situation...

  Agreed. Most elf campers are just human alts and the reason there are more elf campers is because they have a higher mp pool and range. Giants can't camp as well. Some giant/elf mains still evg though here in Mari anyway. I evg every now and then for fun but I never camp and just log out if I do get camped. I play with plenty of elves and I play with plenty of giants. I don't think there's any doubting that both sides do get bashed quite regularly though, especially by humans but also by each other.
• Ailyene wrote on 2010-10-28 22:58
  Giant-sided humans and giant-sided elves count as giants and elves in EVG too. Of course humans would bash the other side. And since there are more humans than elves or giants + tons of people who like to PVP, there would be more humans bashing. I don't think the problem is who is bashing, but more...why? Giants are my least favorite race, but I don't go around insulting the crap out of them even if a person who plays a giant will say humans suck. So I don't understand this rage between the two sides.

  You should see a giant get going with Stomp.

  Only low level Giants would use Stomp to camp people. At high ranks, specifically R1 where most Giants should aim for the Master title, it uses up 15 SP per Stomp, which if you're spamming the skill, will eat through your SP like crazy. Dx
