Because it makes a complete mockery of history, because it means they’re clearly completely incapable of learning anything in a reasonable timeframe (what were you doing for the last two hundred years? picking your toes???), because it means they cannot possible think like the humans playing them as they work on a totally different timescale, because elf culture would have to either be completely alien or stuck in the bronze age, and finally because it just rubs me the wrong way!

@ReCursing @MonkderVierte I figure that they forget things along the way (I’ve forgotten most of what I learned in college 30 years ago), aren’t in such a hurry, or mentally stick to “back in my day…” Also, if they only became an adventurer recently, they might get a History buff, but if they just recently started studying their class skills…

That works for why they’re still a low level adventurer but none of the other problems i mentioned

Elves just get really into coffee for a couple centuries. Their covid bread-making phase lasts until at least 2400.

I was going to say no, dwarves drink beer, but then I realized that elves would absolutely be Insufferable IPA Guy.
