Guild Wars 2

Why is the prefix /deaths in the game, it’s pointless no one can see it only the player and it makes people like me paranoid.

The game is great, don’t get me wrong but I totally hate this /deaths feature…

I could understand not wanting to use a feature like that, but it wouldn’t really be fair to remove it since there are people who enjoy using it.

I know people who like to know that sort of stuff about their characters. It makes the game more fun for them to be able to know how well they are doing on a specific character.

Seems exactly right to me. Since only the person using it sees it, there’s very little incentive to brag to strangers about it, as simply repeating the text is trivial to fake. People who are interested for themselves can use it without anyone else having to hear about it.

If you don’t like it, just don’t use it. That’s a less-than-ideal answer for most complaints, but as there isn’t any reward for using /deaths, it’s totally applicable here.
