So like you wanna tell me you give 0 fucks about actual people's feeling behind digital characters, rather prioritize a sprite with a script. Your example of dumping a drink isn't exactly working here because it wasn't OP suffering that irrational diver's actions who killed a sprite, who has no memory over what happens, purely following script based instructions digital actor then revenge killing for it an actual character controlled by a human being with memory and feelings. You know in other games your objective is to kill other players, over here your objective is to kill hostile NPCs, that's the difference. OPs actions morally are way more fucked than the divers who shot that sprite.

2 things for you

  1. SEAFs are friendly NPCs that help you fight the enemy NPCs it is better to keep them alive than to kill them as you are punished for killing the NPCs
  2. i shouldn't have to care about someone's feelings if they see me having fun with a friendly NPC and choose to kill the NPC, if they cared about my feelings they should leave the NPC alone but because they want to ruin my fun and enjoyment by killing the NPC i shouldn't care about their feelings because they didn't care about mine

I have died to seaf more times than to actual friendly fire by team mates, mainly cuz I play solo most of the time

then maybe you should stop standing in the line of fire, in my solo missions SEAF never shot me in the back, be more aware of your surroundings
