Image.8630 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I find that giving weapons to orphans or children is wrongs. Even if they are toys. Orphan would have more use of clothes, food, shelter... a family. 😃 I know it’s just a game but still, teaching children that weapons are a good thing, is in my humble opinion wrong. 🙁 2 8 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpin Lumpix.6108 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 They should gift orphans other orphans so that they're not orphans anymore, two problems solved with one gesture. 2 7 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firedragon.8953 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I'm pretty sure in the dangerous world of Tyria, weapons ARE a good thing. If little orphan Jane spent more time with the toy sling shot, maybe the centaurs wouldn't have killed her parents. Just sayin'.... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you probably have child protective services called on you if you give your kid a nerf gun. Heck, now we're even to the point where we're worrying about virtual kids! 🙄 Edited December 30, 2023 by AliamRationem.5172 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randin.5701 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Hey! An excuse to bust out the Hogfather quote: Quote 'You can't give her that!' she screamed. 'It's not safe!' IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE. 'She's a child!' shouted Crumley. IT'S EDUCATIONAL. 'What if she cuts herself?' THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON. 10 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) So...don't buy Wrapped Gifts with weapon skins if it is so bothersome; buy them with food. Not sure how you know what's in the Wrapped Gift, anyway. Edited December 30, 2023 by Inculpatus cedo.9234 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chichimec.9364 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Knew some kids that grew up on a little hippie commune in the countryside near the town where I live. Their parents wanted them to grow up non-violent so they never gave the kids any militaristic toys at all. No toy guns or anything like that. So the kids used sticks as pretend guns and they ran around shooting at each other in the nearby woods. True story. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember how I used to get socks and oranges for Christmas from my grandmother. As a child. I wanted toys and sweets and not some crap. It was Christmas! Those were sad times for me. Christmas in my childhood was nothing to look forward to. Creepy Santa and boring "presents" and acting like it was a good time. And afterwards hearing what my friends got (real presents) 😔 I still celebrate with my family, but no Santa and no presents! Just having fun and spending a good time, no acting. If you can't gift what I want, then pls spare me the disappointment. Tyvm. You don't know what those children want. You may mean good but a family is nothing to give for a Christmas present. A present should be a present and nothing something for survival. (I played with the guns my neighbour kids got for Christmas or birthday. And it didn't make me war loving or anything. I was having fun with the neighbours.) Also this game is a very violent one, most problems get solved with violence. Brutal violence. Again and again. What would you expect to gift in such a world? Weirdo. Edited December 30, 2023 by Lucy.3728 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is. I'm pretty sure someone posts the same thing every year (usually earlier than this) and the whole routine has been done in map chat at least a few times this year. Once I saw someone point out that their character started out as an orphan in a street gang (which is a background option for human characters) and they did alright so maybe they're setting these kids up to be future Pact Commanders. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
