Not that I disagree with this statement, but I suppose it's the sum of these experiences that lead some players to the sort of 'prejudices' lamented in the OP. That's not an accusation, of course, just that I myself haven't had enough bad experiences yet, methinks.
Additionally, this also raises the question of whether or not some lalafell RPers have watched the MSQ cutscenes. (¯―¯٥)
Ultimately, people can play their characters however they like. The scariest MSQ NPCs are rather old, wily bastards. Not everyone wants to play that. Some do, and it's cool, those characters are memorable. But everybody has their own definition of what's fun to play.
There is an inherent problem with small cute MMO races, though: people's first reactions tend to be either to hug them like a teddy bear or punt them like they're making a winning field goal. That's more the onus of years and years of MMOs having cute small races.
When somebody runs up and pats a lala's head they can react accordingly, but this being many people's first response is still annoying, I know. I dunno what can really break that trend since it's just one of those MMO things. Like the assumption all elves are haughty.
