Minotaurs may kick ass as a race to play, I will not argue against that BUT
in my own opinion, (and I've never played a minotaur or done any extensive research as to origins and reasons as to why the Imms put them in and yadda, so my opinion is just a general impression and bias I have, not anything well-founded and supported and therefore not really worth anything) Minotaurs do not fit in with the vague idea I have of CF's history and racial development. AND they're unoriginal, like Werewolves. I wouldn't like to see Werewolves implemented, though it is an interesting idea. I see Minotaurs as being the response to an outcry of players calling for a new race, not very well founded and based. Sure, they wrote up some history for them, I'm glad, sure they gave them an Imm, sure, they added some roleplay for Amaranthe followers. But all that seems to have faded out. It was a brief craze which I don't feel did much for the game. And the cap's too low anyway.

So. It's just a personal opinion. Not much real thought put into it, natural bias and whatnot.
