Tamanon said:If you're on a PvP server, it's recognized that you'll have friends on your alliance and enemy's on the other side. Friends mourn, enemies capitalize. If you want to extend some in-game thing to the real life person's memory, then you're trivializing their life, especially in the case where you're trying to make a public spectacle of their death. Any sort of memorial shouldn't be advertised, otherwise guess what, you'll get people that will just go there for the attention.
GAF is not a PvP server, nor is it a game.
Again, well said.
Tallaerin, GAF is not a game. We're not here on opposing factions to wipe each other out on dangerous territory. Stop trying to draw so many unrelated parallels between GAF and WOW. A GAF thread that were to announce someone's death is not an event being advertised like the ones that guild made the dumb choice of telling everyone about.
edit:
You know what would be fucking dumb of GAF to do? If it did try to hold an RP-ish, mock-funeral thread in vein of what we saw in that video. I would gladly welcome trolls to trash the thread and would do the same as well. Merely starting a thread announcing someone's death and giving condolences? Not the same thing.
