Title says all. We need a “clear the dead” option at the guild claiming NPC in each keep within WvW. Instantly transferring all corpses several ingame meters outside the palisade walls. Living enemies in hiding are one thing. Perfectly acceptable. Having to sit next to the corpse of a dead Mes laying near a gate awaiting to be rezzed from outside just as a “Kitten, please…” is an overall waste of my time.

-Edit: March 6th-
After deliberation below, it has been deemed that instead of simply moving the enemy corspes outside the keep, it would be more proper (and easier on the programmers) to simply have a forced respawn back to the nearest waypoint for any fallen. Probably on some sort of timer. So say, after thirty seconds of capping any outpost, the enemy’s dead (and only the dead), would be moved back to the nearest point of origin.

I’ve never seen that happen, but if you see such strategies being utilized, why not just report the players involved? I think selecting the player and rightclicking their head works?

People who can argue often offer a good and meaningful conversation about the subject.
People who can’t tend to call the opponent troll, scream something utterly incomprehensible
and finally result to personal insults.

Because there’s nothing against the rules about doing it?
It’s just a terrible design choice that you can’t do anything about it.

Where’s the fun in that, lol? In fact, just use the “clear the dead” option to send them back home or to the next nearest waypoint. Anyone who would resort to such tactics deserves to hup it a bit, I say.

Call me a bit vindictive lol.

And wheres the fun in clearing death people ? if it ever would get implemented and people are aware of it,then there is a great chance the option would never be used at all since people would spawn back to wp’s instantly.Why hang around when people will clear you ? The point is..there is no need for a “clear dead option” at all..If only they would remove the ability for us to res death people through a gate,wich doesn’t even make sense to begin with.

Considering the same thing gets done both ways (the dead respawning) why does that mean it shouldn’t be done?

I cant imagine being able to ress through a closed gate is working as intended, and a such would be a bug, and doing it would be bug-abusing, which is against the rules.

Ressing is a distance thing. As long as you’re within proximity it makes no difference what is between you and them, and never has. Obviously you’re whispering sweet nothings through the gate and giving them back the will to live.

Precisely. It doesn’t matter. It’s just a timed forced respawn.

It shouldn’t be an option. It should be an automatic effect of claiming anything that is claimable. You claim the flag, everyone in the area of the flag are moved. You claim the supply depot, everyone is moved. You claim the keep, same thing. Automatically, your reward for being dead and losing the area is a free trip to your asura gate. None of this nearest WP either. You go to the beginning. IF you can go somewhere else from there you do that yourself.

Exactly. I’m thinking this would work best on some sort of timer. Say, thirty seconds? So they have time to pick a different destination in that time if they so chose.

Because reporting it has not stopped anyone of questionable sportsmanship from partaking in it. Nothing else to it.
