    I wasn't to impressed with their first circumsison (GW1).  Let's see if they have learned anything over the years.

    I couldn't care less if it was b2p, I would pay anything for a game if it's worth it. I could even argue about the money, how many free content updates you think the game's gonna have? Gw had 3-4 content updates in an expanse of what, 5 years? Plus the "Dynamic Circumcisions" are not seamless, just persistent. ArenaNet has to prove that they can do more than that boring snorefest first game. And anyway some of us are just looking for a competitive pvp game, I can tell you as a long term GW player that competitive pvp in GW was destroyed when pvx wiki kicked in. Tera seems to be very skill tended. Circumcisions are a plusimage

    It's just so damned pointless. Not to mention the children have absolutely no choice in it.

    Genital mutilation is something completely different. Don't confuse the two.

    But, to answer your question: it's called hygiene. That and the ladies prefer it by a longshot. At least where I'm from. Besides, who the hell wants a smegma trap? Not me.

    lol the ladies don't prefer it by a longshot . Where are you from? ISRAEL? No wonder.

    Nope, not Israeli.

    The sense of sheer relief that I've seen when a woman realizes that you are "trunkless" is astounding. I remember when the first Sex and the City film was released in my country (Canada) and how female moviegoers responded to the Italian womanizer's scene that exposed his extra squishy bits. It was blatantly obvious as to where the clear consensus lay :)

    But, whatever helps you sleep at night, right ;)

    Q: Do priests perform marriages or civil unions? How about circumcisions?



    A: Each culture in TERA has its own rituals for marriages and civil unions; priests are able to officiate them all. Circumcisions require the assistance of a berserker, slayer, or warrior, whichever the parents prefer.

     

    I am wandering about animation of the process...

    Your inability to see sarcasm is astounding.  This is why mmo devs are so dry in their responses.  Take a joke man, seriously.

    Seriously, you cant see GW2 written that you have to bash it, even if its in a parody...

    It is by the defination of mutilation, a genital mutilation. The foreskin is an essential part of that area. Hygiene factor is a relic of the past, it is now an old wives tale. There is no reason at all to lose the skin.

    'At least where I'm from.' --> Let me guess? America? Only in America is there such a high percentage of circumcisions, most areas of the world it is uncommon.

    Then where you are from has bad values and opinions. Even Jewish Rabbi's admit that it is silly for any non-Judeo religious person to get it done. If the ladies prefer it, then you need to change crowds since smart sensible ladies would know it is mutilation and it ruins the most sensitive nerves on a male's body.

    Smegma = natural excess that is easily washed away.

    It is truly sad that you would rather fit in with shallow, less intellual women and not have a naturally occuring substance (NATURALLY, alas, since circumcisism is unnatural mutilation) over having a much more fulfilling sex life and a fully complete area.

    But don't worry, if you ever want it back I believe there are ways to strech it over again so your nerves can regrow. Since obviously you were one of the poor saps who got it forced off of him by parents who didn't know better.

    No wive's tale my friend. It is not an essential part of the Human male anatomy.

    But, please be respectful to the term "genital mutilation", which at this point in history refers specifically to female genital mutilation. Do not diminish it's true meaning. That's simply intolerable behaviour. Do not confuse mutilation with modification.

    For the record the WHO (World Health Organization) estimates that 30% of the Earth's Human male population are circumcized, with 68% of that being Muslim. So no, it's not just america, as you presumed.

    It's ok if you have some extra squishy bits, though. I'm certainly not losing any sleep about it :)

    Allright, fair enough!

     

    I'm not going to spend an awful lot of time in the KOBT. If I can control myself enough, I'm just going to try out a few different classes, so on and so forth.

    Some people really are gonna believe everything. Most posters didn't get that it's a (lame, granted) joke?

    Kind of old thread, and it was indeed a joke. Going to lock it.
