    @Startlord, Fine fine theres is more -grass- texture on the ground but why is Thanalan filled with larger grasses... healthy grass grows tall (Thanalan, desert?) - La Noscea hired an awesome gardener i guess lol
    As someone who was born and raised in the desert, we had tall grass, and in some parts it was everywhere. It wasn't exactly green, but it was there.

    The reason you can have tall grass in deserts is because most plants in the desert are more efficient at using water. It's not as hard for them to grow in arid areas.

    I was also born in the desert. I didnt say it cant have grass - but compared to La Noseca it has a shit ton of grass.

    La Noseca has an environment that grass thrives in. Yet all you see is the 2d texture on the ground.

    In an evolutionary sense, taller isn't always better. If grass in La Noscea can get an adequate amount of water and sunlight whether it's tall or not, it can use those resources to put toward propagating their DNA, which is the number one priority of any evolving group of organisms.

    But all that doesn't even matter, what does matter is that tall grass can occur naturally in the desert, and it does.

    So lets walk all the way around the point that I was saying "why the hell does Uldah have grass" and all La Noseca has is a 2d texture. Even plains or w.e the other person wanted to call them has ankle high and higher grass.

    And instead lets talk about "tall plants occur naturally in the desert" even though i never said they cant.
