Although it IS a game afterall, but we do have feelings and emotions attached to people that we play with; the prerson who is behind the keyboard. We aren&#8217;t robots! Although WoW IS a PvP-based game from ground up, but regardless I do have a human heart, and would never do something like this. Its just not right. I&#8217;m really glad FF&#8217;s community is not as heart-less as this. All we get is HNM drama and that&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n<p>Its really easy to be an asshole behind the keyboard and get away with it. Sure its a &#8220;virtual&#8221; funeral but&#8230; it was really, a real person behind the keyboard, and obviously people in the guild &#8220;had emotions&#8221; towards not just the pixelated character, but the person who was playing behind the keyboard. Of course a pixelated character killing a pixelated character has nothing to do with the real world, because &#8220;its just a game&#8221;, but the person who was killed by your pixelated character who was attending a virtual funeral while paying respect to a person who died &#8220;in real life&#8221;, certainly have an effect about it in real life.<\/p>\n<p>Even my irl friend Yvonne found out about this &#8216;-&#8216;. Hay, even a Philosopher student think its not right to do this! (And she doesn&#8217;t even play games!)<\/p>\n<p>Quoted in the 1UP article.<\/p>\n<p><em>As socially inept as these virtual mourners may be, let me ask you&#8230;who is behaving with more social grace? The gamers who chose to pay in-game respects for a real-world loss, or the ones who used a real-world loss to gain an in-game boost? Who&#8217;s more in touch with the real world?
