ZOS Hates Short People!

A friend of mine wanted me to post these screenshots and inform everyone about the discrimination ZOS has against short people. Especially @ZOS_Finn who I believe was the architect behind Maelstrom (though maybe it was whoever did the world building who hates short people).
During Round 7 – Vault of Umbrage if one accidentally gets poisoned by the plants they must cleanse themselves in one of the pools of water which can be found at either end of the arena.
However as we can see from the screenshots below, if your character is too short you will in fact start swimming in the pool rather than just run through it. This can lead to many unwanted and unexpected deaths and ruining ones chance of the Flawless Conqueror achievement.
So why do you hate short people ZOS?

LOL,part of the anti cannibalism campaign
nerf Altmer,
and I had no idea height affected if you could could run or had to swim
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.12 -

✭✭✭✭✭this is amusing bug, I am laughing and my main is a bosmer. Going to say, though I noticed a few areas where I swear to you that I don't jump as well as my other altmer friends.
It's a high elf world my friends... lets push them out of tress and see how they fall

Majeure✭✭✭✭Wow, I wasn't aware of this.
I am greatly offended as an advocate for short people.
You can't take these kind of things back, as they can cause irreversible mental trauma, but the least you can do is try...0 -

no... not a L2P. It's a mechanic associated with a minimum character height of a BOSMER. If there's going to eb a Bosmer height disadvantage, there should be a balancing advantage.0 -
ViciousBunnii✭✭✭This thread is great. I am short irl (4'11) so this thread made me laugh so hard and shake my head at the same time. Welcome to the world of short people, haha! I have a Bosmer as well, set to the lowest possible height. Poor thing almost can't see over tables.
She is barely tall enough to reach handles on doors. If you want a fun experience, play the shortest bosmer you can, give them a really big 2h sword and go kill some things. The enemies look HUGE compared to other races. Fighting rats and wolves is hilarious. They are so big! PC/NA

@ZOS_Finn , can you also please make sure that height isn't affecting running speed? Thank you.Rest in Peace:
