Min Maxing, playing what you like, FOMO legacy mask, and being a nut case.

[Balimon]

Don't listen to the haters, I've had some of the same thoughts as you, and you know what I did ? I just rolled a dark elf instead on Greal. Yeah I did that, rolled a dark elf mage on a server where I could get a guise. Why? So I wouldn't want one, and I get to be dark elf on CR's...

Legacy item's are cool, but to spend all that time forcing yourself to play something you don't want too just to look the way you can select from character creation? You're overthinking, remember it's here for fun, not anguish.
