    I like the use of the dialects to show region disparity. it is pretty much as some have said, takes on the many "fantasy tropes" that have popped up over the past century(ies). As an example WoW for the most part reads like a teen fantasy novel at best, and there is little differentiation between the races mon! (horde has it a bit better :P) Now, all of this is subjective though, and if people didn't enjoy the "teen novel" style those books wouldn't sell so well, still its a disservice to the loc team to try and insist their work is inferior because of a lack of understanding dialects and their nuance.
