News flash, the Guild responsible was exposed for having SET THIS WHOLE THING UP. For one reason and one reason only,to gain some amount of "fame". So I guess if you aren't one of the end game raid guilds you cook up some lameass crap in the hope enough people buy into it and instant "fame".
Like "LeeroyJenkins", its a setup, fake from the start, Does anyone really think people on a pvp server would be stupid enough to actually hold a service there? with no armor or weapons?
Anyways, old as hell, and yes if you think/thought it was real and still found it funny so much for the human race.

If indeed it was all an act then who cares, compassion can only go so much...
But if not and replying to Allaunder's post from all your exemples i actually want to take the first.
So if a person from a violent area dies and their family wish to make a cerimony on the grounds of their high school or something and then peoples cars get vandalised, purses disapeer and such.. thats not the vandals/robbers fault, is the organiser's?
Although you as much as said that you are also one of the "younger crowd" it appears to me that you actually know out to put your arguments forward in an intelegent way which in this, is a very nice surprise.
I would just think that someone that appears to be as well educated as yourself would still try and hold the right ideas high instead of just dont caring because most of the people dont.

Would you hold a memorial to a dearly loved one in the middle of an area known for the high rate of violent crimes? And would it somehow become a more appealing idea because at one point, this was the location they were born?

No. However, the parents (or whomever) knew the risks or were ignorant of them (likely innocently so). Therefore, I can't hold too much sympathy for them.

Woah, woah! Never said I was younger, just pointed out how they might see it. I left the younger crowd when I got my first greys. :)

It isn't because of how others view the incident; when I first saw the video, before I knew anyone who'd also seen it, my feelings were roughly the same (though admittedly I didn't know there were safer zones to hold a service, thus my opinion was skewed). The idea is great and heartwarming (had it not been staged, which is news to me). The implementation? Not so brilliant.
So in summation (again, were this not a staged incident): Remembering lost loved ones and friends is a wonderful thing, but games still go on with or without your input.
It's sad to a point but also...
It's the reason people play video games. If you play GTA (Grand Theft Auto) or Saint's Row then answer me this.
Do you go out and car jack someone in the middle of an intersection and then run over the local street walkers on your way to rob a fast food joint and pick up your "homies". Na... didn't think so.
Therefore.. it's a game, so get over it. If you people actually saw, and I mean up close and personally have seen, the violence of everyday life then you would understand more. What happens in a game is just a game, however "realistic" the intentions are for the game.
Go ride along with some of your cities law enforecment officers, then come back and complain about some "in game violence".

Its her own fault anyway, mo one asked her to sit at the computer for 6 days straight, her own stupid fault really
I've been through this arguement before. But this comment really pissed me off. First off, care to provide a source that explains she died from playing WoW nonstop? I don't think there are any records of people dying from playing WoW for too long. Secondly, you talk as if she deserved to die because of a hobby she had and that you're happy she's dead. There are some exceptions for celebrating the death of someone, this person was not one of them, and what your saying is pretty ******* low in my oppinion. How would you like to die?
Anyway, onto the video. First off, I'll start by saying that it wasn't very smart to hold the funeral in a contested zone, even if it was a personal favorite of the deceased player's. But still, it doesn't make it right for those funeral crashers to go and desecrate the person's memory like that. I mean for instance, let's say a woman accidently loses her purse. Sure, it's her fault for being irresponsible and losing it, but does that make it right for someone to steal it? Anyway, back to the main subject. Yes, I understand that world PvP is part of a PvP server, but do you reall think those guys crashed the funeral for honor points? Of course not, they knew what they were doing was wrong, and that they were desecrating somebody's memory. That didn't seem to bother them, which if you ask me is a very cold-hearted. Not to mention I don't care much for the way they insulted and laughed at the deceased person. Many of you seem to find this funny, that's fine. But if you go and trash-talk the horde players and the deceased person, then perhaps you should try thinking of their point of view and how they feel about this. If that still doesn't change your mind and still support those funeral crashers, then tell me, what kind of person would you rather be? Someone who isn't very smart or someone who cares only for themselves and takes pleasure in causing pain to other people?

WOAH WOAH WOAH! You totally took what he said and turned it backwards. In his response I did not see him gain any sort of pleasure from her death, like you think he did. He just doesn't care.
Ok, maybe I took things a little too seriously. It still seems to me like he's saying that she deserved to die, and that's just disgusting. But anyway, another thing I'd like to point out. It seems as if many people forget that the other people you see playing MMO's, aren't AI, they're real people controlling an avatar. Those people do have feelings, emotions, and thoughts. And when they die in real life, that's it, it's over, they can't go and talk to a Spirit Healer and return to life. I don't think a whole lot is known about this person's life. But I'm willing to bet she was young. Now, can you imagine what kind of pain this person's family must've gone through, especially her parents, losing a child in my oppinion is the worst thing that can happen to parents. And while they probably don't know about it, I don't think it would make them feel very well if they heard about a bunch of punks on the internet mocking the girl's death.

ok they probably held it in that location 1. because it was her favourite fishing spot 2. so that the horde and alliance people could reach it easily enough by gryphon, hipogriff and bat or whatever horde use.

Woah now, back up there chief. It isn't like these guys were killing the players during a memorial. Let's keep certain things separated, like real-world events and WoW. Would you compare a Horde raid of a city to Iraq, too?
9/11 was set up by the government. Watch loose change. Just another reason why i moved away from that hell on earth called the usa.

The movie Loose Change cannot be real, based on the grounds that; if it were real, the people who made it would be dead. The government would not allow such blasphemous information to leak.

That just proved my point. Freedom of speech died a long time ago.
