The event has many ethical issues dealing with the idea of privacy and lack of morality on the side of Alliance players who chose to invade on the gathering.

I know this is late, but maybe you should describe the in-game funeral in more detail. The event has many ethical issues dealing with the idea of privacy and lack of morality on the side of Alliance players who chose to invade on the gathering. Obviously the players within that particular Alliance guild believed that anonymity protected them from consequences associated with their acts, while in reality there is almost no likelihood of individuals "attacking" others at events like a funeral. This immorality does not transcend well into the game and no form of legal action can actually be taken on the Alliance players. For the Horde members that created this event, by announcing this in forums, any and all users of the World of Warcraft community has access to it. All forums are public, thus it is almost not surprising that a gathering of internet trolls would take this opportunity to gain honor points and for the "LOLs". When news spread of this heinous act, many other players personally attacked the whole guild responsible. Some even complained directly to Blizzard. However, it is not within Blizzard's justification to pursue or report this "crime" to authorities. This ultimately questions whether or not ethics can truly be present and monitored in games. ^old?
