Are you for or against the addition of race-based bonuses?

Now the problem here, in a videogame, should be small racial differences? Personally, I would really feel satisfied, playing as a warrior Lalafell, winning in an arena match an highlander with my same job ... It would be more difficult, more interesting ... more epic.

As a Warrior Lalafell, I find this offensive. I don't walk into a fight thinking this will be epic because I'm a Lalafell and I'm auto-weaker. I want the enemy to get stronger so I can get stronger. Throwing a race-based handicap does not make it worth the extra effort, it makes me annoyed and frustrated.

How is it a handi cap? If it dosent take away from current stats then it can not be considered a handi cap. And it would make sense that a galk swings an axe or takes a physical hit better then a taru, but on the pluss side, if tarus or lalas , as it were, are stronger in the magical realm of things, this would give them a slight advantage on takning . As it stands magic damage seems to be the only aspect of the game in wich a tank has no real perminate solution for, except for stacking HP (wich isnt realy a solution imo) soo a taru tank may be what is needed in some cases when a magic attack is soo defistating it plays a key role in the pace of a instance . But racial stating is not a handicap, it adds to each race a hint of realistic flavor, but dose not hinder one from doing w/e he/she wants to do.
