i have six gold, my io score is a number, i’m thinking about getting a cat, and my car is… well actually it’s a pretty nice car but i got in a wreck about three weeks ago and my old car got totaled so i had to get a new car and it kinda sucks having a car payment but i can afford it and i plan to pay it off early anyway so it’s mostly whatever
anyway that should satisfy all your requirements, i eagerly await your response
The problem these days is that’s no longer how people think.
Like for me, my code is very simple, I wouldn’t divorce unless the other person did something really bad, like smashed my freaking teeth in, or cheated, or was constantly verbally abusive all the time, to me those are about the only three valid reasons. To me there’s literally no other valid reason for divorce.
But sadly a lot of people these days are fickle and think it’s okay to go running off into divorce simply because ‘the spark has gone out’ and other non-legitimate reasons, and they don’t get punished for that either, so to me marriage is dead.
Be cool if it did, under the OP’s system. Get widower’s debuff, -15% to all stats, and a 2.3sec increase to all CDs and GCD with a -30% movement speed debuff if the signiffigant other died while grouped up.
The stats would have to be something that doesn’t effect gameplay. Extra bank slots, maybe doubling the size of the the banks, but they’re shared. Maybe the soulbind items you get while being married can be shared as well, but only the items you have gotten after you have gotten married.
Maybe add an option to marry npcs as well, for those solo players. From them you could get gifts and minor buffs.
True, trade chat be like: “450 DPS Looking For Spouse for Mythic+ and Raiding. Must be available to run together weekly. Female toon preferred. PST for more info.”
idk, i don’t think it’s up to you to decide what a legitimate reason is, other than in your own relationships. falling out of love is a thing that happens, and it’s far better to get a divorce and seek happiness elsewhere than stay together and be miserable.
that’s not to say that divorce should be your first solution. if you or your spouse have troubles, the first thing to do is talk to the other person about it. it really should be that easy, but folks insist on bottling it up because they’re afraid of hurting the other person’s feelings. they never talk about it, and frustration builds and builds until eventually everything falls apart.
i dunno. ideally people who marry will stay married to that person… but that’s just an ideal. reality is harsh sometimes. my uncle spent 25 years married to my ex-aunt, realized that they’d fallen out of love with each other, tried counseling and couples therapy, did everything he could think of to reignite the spark, but nothing worked. it wasn’t anyone’s fault, really. just the way things shook out. they had an amicable divorce and they’re both much happier for it.
I don’t care if they add a marriage system but there shouldn’t be any stat bonuses or bank slots. Maybe something cosmetic like a wedding transmog would be ok or being able to transport to each other’s location.
