Please remove Shark Fin Soup

[Gralna]

So your issue with the game, is the supposed implied subliminal political maneuvering to support "finning" due to there being no other shark meat recipes... nothing to say about the game having murder, suggested rape, smoking, alcohol, supremacism, religious intolerance, genocide, or any of the other aspects of this FANTASY world that could or could not be considered delicate real world issues?


Get over yourself, it is a made up world, with it's own history and lore. Slacktivism at it's finest, if this is really a sensitive issue to you personally, maybe you should maybe, oh i dunno, register with an anti-finning organization, donate some time and/or money to support their efforts, instead of tinfoiling here on the forums.

If this was a troll thread it sure was damn effective at bringing out some of the most hateful remarks I've seen on this forum since the gay marriage debates. Y'all are feeding so hard you make dota newbies look skilled.

Of all the things you kill in this game you draw the line at sharks?

Think about it... How many other animals have you needlessly killed for a quest?

I smell troll.

This thread gave me a good chuckle.

And caused some vital organ failures too.

How about you take this argument to the actual poachers who are killing sharks.

This is a virtual game which you believe SE/players are actually committing crimes versus sharks.
Its fake and you need to come to the realization of that.

if you come back with a argument you might as well argue that we are slaughtering animals for experience also and human beings.

I mean yes its a horrible thing but you need to tell the difference even though you know its virtual you seems to think the game is promoting this stuff when people are just thinking of stats.

As I said though I believe this argument is a waste of time, might as well argue about everything else also.

this best not be a sarcastic thread troll cause it almost seems like it to me. lol

I can't feel nearly as strongly about this as OP does, but I think if you want to disagree with him, you ought to do so on grounds that aren't complete bullshit. OP is not mad that fake sharks get killed; they're mad because real sharks get killed in a cruel fashion and feel that having an item in the game representing the product for which these acts are committed is in poor taste.

I'm inclined to agree with them on that, even if I don't feel a crusade or a petition is necessary; I doubt finners are sitting around saying to themselves, "I'm so happy to have my product legitimized by an MMO I could jump," or that people on the fence have suddenly decided it must be worth trying if SE thinks it would make you better at stitching.

But seriously people: shark finning is atrocious. Imagine somebody chopping off half of one of your legs and then tossing you onto an obstacle course to die. It's really not that crazy to imagine that someone finds this addition thoughtless and tasteless.

Down with sharks! (in game)

[Gramul]

It's fake.
As fake as the incredible acts of violence in the game itself.

I've murdered people Quentin. I've killed one of a kind creatures. I have torn rare material and food from the land itself.

You just have to live and let make believe.

I have to assume it's in jest but if not, perhaps we need to take it further and not just single out these poor defenseless sharks.

So with that, I propose they include the ability to eat anything, Just because it talks doesn't mean it isn't delicious.

How pampered and privileged is your life where this is an issue that makes you write an essay fit for tumblr over it. Go outside and get some real problems.
