We already have Asuras to play as small things, and Norn as fat things.

Who needs Dwarves?

where did i know, that at least 1 will start again about Tolkien >.>

god..people..let tolkien be tolkien ..THIS IS GUILD WARS and having playable Dwarfs in GW makes Guild Wars not to Tolkien >.>

tolkien is not the origin of all things >.<

What wil happen then next ? will Anet kill next the whole centaur populaton from tha game world, only to avoid the opinions of tolkien whiners, hwich might pinpoint their fingers on GW saying

"uh, this is only a tolikien clone, because they have playable centaurs" ...

god wtf cares about those opinions ... I as player want have in GW2 good RPG flair and that you can reach only imo with a game full of different playable races with all their different cultures ...

dwarfs and all the other traditional races, which got only a hype cause of LotR were also before tolkien made LotR a well known race....it was not tolkien, who has invented the dwarfs new LotR >.<
Whoever thinks that, has no clues... people should stop to compare ever with tolkien ... thats the same stupid comparement, as people are ever brainlessly comparing GW ever first with WoW >.> as if WoW would be the origin of all MMORPG's OMFG!!!

Nothing says about Anet wanting to be "unique" ...but why should uniqueness forbid players to play their beloved traditional races ? I see no sense in that really...
if anet's intertion would be really to be in all kinds of things of GW to be "unique"..then would have never existed in the GW world from the start on NO DWARFS and NO CENTAURS.... because only then would have Anet created a game world, which is totally free of any traditions and from all the extreme annoying people, which have ever to make their dumb compares with tolkien and WoW ....sigh. Only then would be GW really "unique" ..

but wait..ya this would ya end up then in a total catastrophe, because dwarfs and centaurs are a huge part of the story of Guild Wars...what would happen, if we erase now them totally from the start on out of the game ?

bingo...the only solution would be then to replace them with other races. it would end up only then in a weird scenario.
When you know, that you as player have had done Quest X before with a Centaur NPC at your side...and after Update Y it ends up then, that the NPC got changed into a for example ...Sylvari NPC ... or whatever else uhm..don#t you as player become not then in the first moment a bit irritated, when from moment x to y the npc's get changed ?
I would find this in the first moment a bit irritating...but..

...this would be imo the only way with which I could make friends.
A GW2, which races, regardless if now NPC or playable would be all only GW own races with GW own names, design, culture ect.
