Ogre is a Noob Trap

I am curious which "ogre ravers" you are referring to. I agree with GreatDane, I haven't seen people on these forums make posts with headlines such as "if you aren't an Ogre, stop playing".

People who are anti-Ogre generally say things that aren't true, so people correct them.

As has been said many times, no race is unplayable in the game. Just give people the facts (more stats = better, some racials are better than others), and let them decide how they want to play.

I really don't understand why people have such a hard time with this on these forums.

I don’t find your angle particularly researched or unique (sorry…that wasn’t aimed at you, it’s a bumper sticker we hear a lot from both sides). I’ve played this game for about 20 years and the majority of my posts aren’t in support of any one thing.

I’ve had ogres, trolls, elves, littles. I don’t care frankly. I put together a test magelo to show some objective data comparing giant races to small ones with moderate tanking gear and it favored large races. I still posted it because again, I’m not caught in a sunken cost fallacy. I find results interesting, not personally attacking.

As for why people have such “trouble with topics like this on the forum” maybe you should find a different proxy to argue that point. Pot, kettle, and all that.
