Maybe it's the carelessness of their deaths that makes them not register for both folks, but in opposite ways? Dunno.
Ysayle's death was not careless or bad writing at all. The reason they stopped killing off main characters after Heavensward is because everyone kept getting mad at the writers for it, at a certain point they decided their mental health is more important than receiving hate mail from some some neckbeard who's custom body pillow character got killed off in game.
