I believe he already stated he got into the lava because of going linkdead
didn't he? I don't want to read that whole long thing again. Point is, the
GM' / Guides won't even help get your corpse when you die from a bug. I
actually had a guide accuse me of purposely dragging mobs to a point where,
if I died, my corpse would fall beneath the world in W karana. WTF? Like
its hard to find a corpse in w karana near the q hills zone.

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.
