Why is it that people seem to have it in thier head that GM's and Guides must help you if you cannot get
your corpse?

The ONLY reason they assist in corpse retreival is if it is stuck in a wall. Or fallen through the world.
Or lost due to a verifiable bug.

If you fall in lava. It is YOUR responsibility to get it back. (Hope you made friends)

To say that GM's are worthless cause they told you "tough sh*t" is lke saying "Dang. I cut my toe off with
this knife. Perhaps I should sue the hospital cause they can't put it back on."

If you plan to play around dragons, lava, gods. You SHOULD expect trouble.

I have died underneath Nagafen, but have still gotten my corpse. I have had guildmates lose thier corpses
on the other side of Fear. I have had guildmates lose corpses "I forgot where" in Sol B. But they have all
been retrieved. No GM was even called because they all were of our own doing. (Lag related or not).

What you need is a group of people that you can trust to assist you when the chips are down.

Perhaps it is just me, but, if you lose your corpse in lava, don't go crying about the GM's not running to
your aid. They are not supposed to help you.

Take responsibility of your own problems. If the problem is indeed a bug, then by all means call a GM.
