Thanks. I'll just quote this rather than saying it again.

As for the broader topic, it seems there's no real consensus on this one. It's personal preference really. I think it's a cheap and tacky design, shoehorned into Guild Wars 2 so that Marketing could tick all the "WoW" boxes. Oh well, maybe the Tauren- I mean Charr -will look cool.

As for point 2, you have to keep in mind that in Tyria magic is their physics-it's how their world operates. Thus a society of engineers and scientists are bound to create advanced devices based off of magic, and create scientific words for it. I think it adds a nice touch to the Asurans, so I'm voting for keeping them as is.
Yeah, there are two different guys in Elona (The Compass guy in Tyria and another Guy in Dzagonur) working in things we could call 'monitor' or 'television'.

for those who dont know what R.O.S.E is... www.roseonlinegame.com/
Lmao! Thats the exact reason we want them to be changed.

Guild wars wasnt meant for "a bad ass midget mouse spiking SF"

Im only signing for re-design of their appearance. I Love their skills/games.

/not signed Well, I like these crazy little guys with the big attitude. They along with all the races in GW need more content and development.

I saw the title of this topic, and I read GUILD WARS 2..... which means this topic is in the wrong place. There is a sticky in Sardelac for ideas for GW2.... use it.
