As someone who min-maxes, I can sometimes take it a little too far and even choose a race that might be hard to click on or even see in certain environments because of the race's stature. I am a little ocd when it comes to min-maxing and feel like I'm cheating myself if I don't take this into consideration. Do any of you have opinions if this will give players an advantage or not?
Assuming you are going to play on a PvP shard, I'd guess having a smaller, harder-to-click sprite would give at least a tiny advantage over a giant ogre. I'm sure there will be plenty of advantages and disadvantages to each race which will probably outweigh this one, though.

Yeah I will be rolling on a PvP shard for sure even though PvE is my focus I still enjoy the danger of dying to other players at any moment and being able to fight over PvE objectives. Since there will be racials then that will obviously take my priority over a smaller advantage of choosing a smaller race. I sometimes have even chosen in other games to play a female version of even bigger races because they are slightly smaller than the male counterparts....for example a female human over a male human in WoW(crazy I know since it hardly makes a difference and are still not sterotypical small lol).

I'm pretty sure 99% of people tab target, that is not what I'm getting at. But if the player is far away and the casting ranges might be longer than we know then they are out of tab target range generally. Plus the advantage of not seeing them behind walls/environment and being ambushed if you will.

Well, if you want small races to have a smaller hitbox/clickbox, then let's go the full way :
Small races will have their "melee range" reduced because short arms, and big races big range because long arms.
Also make short races run slower because short legs... ahah.
