You wanna call the people who did this heartless? How about the shear morbidity (is morbidity a word? I think it is) of the people who set this up? If you wanna play the emotion card, the guy died. And they set up his online personification for display. That'd kinda be like dragging his corpse outside for public viewing. Now isn't that sick and wrong? You wanna talk about being shot for being heartless, how about you have a little respect for the dead.
...Now that's the kind of emotional drivel one of these damn bleeding hearts would spout out. But it makes a great counter to your bullshit sentiment, so I figured I'd toss it out there.
It was their own fault the "memorial" got crashed, they should have taken into account the contested nature of the zone. Plus, it's a PvP server. People are going to gank you. It's what they do. Hell, if I played and caught wind of this, I woulda helped crash it. Cept I woulda been humming the Ride of the Valkyries.
so youve never gone to a wake?
parents should teach these kids things now adays.
See a wake is when the persons body is on display so you can pay your last respects.
you know generally 95% of the world does this.
When the pope died his body was displayed in a glass encased bed for those who wanted to say goodbye.
When my grandfather and great grandmother died. I went to the wake/visitation to say goodbye.
What happened in WoW was the exact same thing.
people paying their last respects at a wake that some jack asses showed up and destroyed..
A close friend or clan member probly had their log in info. Not like someone hacked his account and logged in. thats the only case i could see this being wrong in.
So i fail to see how your statement counters something that happens every day when someone dies.
Now say someone in your family died.
And you were at the wake. (or visitation since thats what some people know it as)
And some random group of people just run in and tip over the casket and start pelting the mourners with waterballoons and shit. Who holds the dis respect and hearlessness then?
I'd feel privledged to have my character logged in one last time for people to say goodbye to.
someone typing through my char to say "goodbye" would be fine too. Since i would want to say goodbye, im just not around to do it.
