    Just because playable Lalafell are adults does not mean people do not RP them as children unfortunately. Not to sound like an elitist, but as a RP'er, I've left Free Companies where that was allowed just because I don't care for the drama that will inevitably arise when either that RP'er is revealed to have been ERP'ing on their child-character, OR, they're more the attention-seeking sort who go around making huge firestorms when someone solicits them for ERP. Yeah, its great to know who to avoid and all, but most RP'ers I've met in that situation just like the attention from being a, 'Victim.'

    So as far as SE is involved, Lalafell are adults. So yes, as far as this situation of Lalafell being children is involved, it's the playerbase at fault... which is quite unfortunate.

    Baby, tell me, what's your motive?

    I don't disagree at all. I just don't feel like giving the playerbase more opportunities to engage in that kind of conduct is conducive to the image of the game, the company, and the playerbase.

    Didn't the recent Christmas event also taught us that children Lalafells are the same size as the adults? Meaning you wouldn't be able to tell the difference of their age solely on their appearances.

    That is correct. Lalafell children are the same size as the adults.

    According to the lore, only lalafells are able to discern the age of other lalafells.

    Back to the original point, wouldn't it make more sense just to do the whole "student/apprentice" thing with a chosen retainer? When you think about it, that's already a thing anyway since their max level can't be higher than your max level of whatever job or DoL class the retainer is, and we can already gear them up. The only thing missing is an incentive to focus on that further into things like stories and so on.
