B) It allows me to actualy be in disguise in my RP. Do you know how hard it is to get people to OOC ignore the wings when you're disguised in an illusion? I went to an evil-aligned event disguised as a troll, and I had to constantly type out OOC that they didn't see my giant pink wings. No longer having the wings has seriously helped my RP when my character needs to disguise herself.
Seeing as there were multiple posts about this topic wanting to hide the wings that were nearly 30 pages long, and only one post upset about the wings gone that was 4 pages long tops, I'd say a lot of community members weren't too upset over this.
There was a lot more than one post that was upset they were gone and actually posted about it. This isn't the first place I have posted and I am not alone.But.. as I said, it should have been an OPTION. I loved the winged ratonga, a combo of my two favourite-ist races, but I also understand some of the arguments on the other side, too. Besides, there are some things people don't need to jump up and down and rant and rave about for hours. While I am disappointed about losing my arasai wings in illusion form, it's not worth getting massively worked up and starting a thread and goading that thread to 30+ pages with a lot of name-calling and other drivel. (And, yes, I did post in the threads seeking their removal how -I- liked it the way it was and didn't think it needed to be changed.. and I wasn't the only one, there, either).
