A few years back the WH crew tried to fix that problem with this..Rhul wrote: but barely anyone was costuming their race at all.

Frankly, I'm very confused as to why the racial boons were changed to be available to any race. I was informed that it would prevent the min/max people from wearing crappy costuming to get the boons they wanted. But then racial disciplines were added... which would cause people who wanted to min/max with a racial discipline to still wear crappy costuming.
Disclaimer: No, I'm not saying everyone who plays a non-human race is wearing crappy costuming, nor people who wish to play a race for the love of the race, or the min/max'ers all wear crappy racial costuming. I'm saying the people who are going to wear the minimum amount required or do a poor job at their costuming to get something whether it be a racial boon or racial discipline or extra life points are going to continue. I just don't see how the changes made 'fixes' the problem.
... or did I miss something?
