I can’t believe that anyone would be so insensitive to criticize this request, and after all that’s what it is, a request. Calling it attention seeking and being patronizing enough to say “it won’t bring him back to life”. No kidding. So we should never memorialize anything because it doesn’t bring the person back? Then what astounds me even more is one of them actually said they wouldn’t object to something in a Guild Hall even after saying such rubbish. Wow.
I think this is Anet’s decision to make anyway, not those of you who seem to have a problem with this … I don’t get the intrusion in this thread. This isn’t the kind of thread you should be trolling quite frankly.
OP, I am so sorry for you and your guild’s sudden and tragic loss. My condolences to his family as well. I think something placed in your guild hall once we get them would be more than reasonable, and really not hard to implement. I also would not be opposed to public memorials for our fallen players either.
Remember the good times OP
I’m not trolling. My opinion on this is dead serious (pun not intended)
Its not my problem, if you have issues with other peoples opinions in such an unethical topic.And I find it unethical to beg literally for attention to get from a game developer for a dead person some kind of special treatment in a game, which should always, regardless what comes, stay in first line a game and shouldn’t become everyones public memorial, only because some people believe that their “cases” are somehow special/worthy enough for it, that Anet has to put some value to them rolleyes.
However, an emotion neutral non public gameplay related implemented feature would be something totally different.
If Guild Halls would provide an option for Guild Leaders to create their customized gravestones, then will have people a way to get, what they want, without that they think that there is some kind of “need” to seek attention for their cause here in the forums, where something like this absolutely has no place in my eyes. Period.Instead, they can put up then the wished gravestone, statue or whatever as a memorial and place it somewhere in their Guild Hall, where Guild Members can read then some kind of memorial text maybe, when standing before that thing.
And now take a chill pill, because as you can see, I do basically support what the OP wants. I just personally prefer only a Guild Hall integrated solution that works for everyone and I absolutely dislike just the forum method of trying to press on the tear gland for sympathy to get through some special treatment, what is kind of selfish, when you think about it, that the Guild Hall related solution would be way better for everyone and it doesn’t require in the future then anymore to make more threads liek this here to get “hopefully” a memorial for a dead person.
No, with such an integrated solution could get then everyone in the Guild Halls a memorial for various different reasons even :O
Call me disrespectful all you want, I stay to my opinion. Theres nothing to be ashamed of it to have an own opinion and especially to call it out also against all the odds of others. Deal with it. Not everyone does swim with the stream always :P
Thats life as much as life goes on.
You basically think something in their guild hall would be fine, however you keep going on ad nauseam about how inappropriate it was to request it (which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever), serious or not, that’s trolling. Unethical topic? Give me a break. The OP was instructed by Anet themselves to make this request here, so if you have a problem with that, take it up with them.
By the way, if you have an opinion you want to express, and it just so happens to be a very unpopular one that will most likely offend and offers nothing constructive, expect to be called out on it. DEAL with it – as per your own advice.
