I'm well aware of the mutual dislike they have towards anything from the movies (specifically the Hobbit movies, it would seem). I understand they're trying to keep everything canon, and that's great. But why they would pass up on a great design (like this BotFA one) just because of where it's from, I'll never understand; here's why.

I've already brought up a point many times in the past, that the BotFA design and the one currently in the mod would both technically be "non-canon". Because, nowhere in the books does it give a detailed description on how the Wood-elven armor should look. So in essence, both designs are equally "non-canon", which gives them both an equal right to exist, "from the movie" or not.

But as the managers of the Wiki and the mod, they're entitled to their own opinion and I can respect that. But that won't stop me from making a design that I and many others out there do prefer.
