2. You seem to prefer the movie just because it's a good design, in your opinion. 1. I just addressed that, please read up.

2. I didn't state my points with my opinion, I gave the facts backed by lore and actual sources, compared to your clear opinion and bias. Please read back, nowhere did I ever say "I think it should be gold" or "I think there was real work done on the movies, based on some book lore and culture". Why? Because regardless of what you or I think, it is factually true that the movie design has many book roots. No opinion can change that. So don't make it seem like I pulled all of this from out of nowhere, or from myself.

But if you honestly, truly think that the bleak, boring, faded green armor in the mod is better than the flowing, golden, vibrant, detailed armor from the movie, then I have nothing else to tell you, but again--bias. It's right in front of you, but you refuse to see it. I can't help ya there. The amount of hypocrisy and contradicting points almost makes me not want to bother with you.

You do realize your points about how we make the mod is biased, can be used exactly for the movies? They did what they thought was best and clearly deviated from canon, and tbh it didn't pay off. I'd accept a small amount of Thranduil's Royal Guard having this armour, but an entire army of thousands? THEY'RE A BUNCH OF WOOD ELVES. It made absolutely no sense, even if the experts came up with some bullshit of how it "reflects their culture and environment". No, if they truly wanted to do that they'd make them wear mud-brown, dark green and red-tinted armour and clothes, just like what Legolas wears in LotR.

You clearly don't recognize that we do bloody appreciate the movies and WOULD use it's designs if we thought they would fit, like we've done in the past (as you've pointed out many times). The armour just doesn't fit! Your textures certainly are nice to look at, but it just doesn't suit what the rest of our mod includes.

I think that you're a bitter person who wants something to complain about therefore creates needless and unwanted arguments just to try and squeeze in his textures. Gee, if you really wanted to contribute to the mod you could have just asked nicely... :^)
