Just because you may be sad from the loss of someone you know does not mean that everyone else needs to see, or care about your loss in any way. There are MANY more relevant achievements that could warrant an in-game item, like the first person to exploit their way to 1 million kills (hahaha see what I did there?). PhillipFryNotSureIfTrollingOrSerious.jpg Not trolling. I had a much longer original post, but the dust forums decided to troll me and erased it before posting lol. What it comes down to is there are losses all around the world either military or not. Even if this game was US only (which it's not) then you would still have a hard case trying to idolize this death in particular. It all comes down to relevance and perceived importance, and after a week no one will really remember this goonie who died save for the ones who knew him, or saw this article. The reason we have monuments is because it was a game related epic achievement, not because someone died (out of millions) and enough people moaned and pleaded to have him idolized in their favorite game. /hard truth: get over it
You are missing a harder truth, some people have a bigger impact (and hence relative importance) than others. Yes the impact was in a virtual world for this individual, but it was also a reportedly a huge impact within that context. So it makes sense that many believe that he should be idolized within the world he was such a big part of. |

After reading who Vile Rat was, and how he died.. Can't bring myself to words - despite that passionate hatred toward his affiliation..
What the **** can we honestly do? So used to throwing out an order to strike back when something happens but - how do you do that in real life..?
INB4 obvious political fiasco this comment invites. |

It sorely tempted me, so I went with humor instead. |
