IMHO adding defecation to the game isn't going far enough, we need all sorts of things to make this game more realistic hear me out I've got a few ideas. 1. Nail Clipping: Our characters sometimes live for more than a few weeks have you ever tried going three or more weeks without cutting your nails you would end up with some pretty lethal daggers. We can even turn it into a little mini-game that behaves like the surgeon simulator game. If you screw up your character accidentally cuts himself with the nail clippers and you have to bandage yourself then sanitize the clippers to continue. 2. Realistic cooking: With this mechanic you will need to find a meat thermometer to check every once in awhile to see if your food has been cooked to the right temperature otherwise you might end up with E.coli poisoning or worms. Cooking would be in real time so you'd have to hang around that campfire for a bit while your pork chops are cooking. 3. Allergies: I don't know about you guys but when its nice outside my sinuses go into a frenzy and we can put this in-game where every character on re-spawn has some unknown allergy. Wouldn't it be fun to find a can of salted peanuts eat a few and then go into cardiac arrest because it turns out your character had a severe peanut allergy. Add in some drug stores Dean because we are going to a lot of epinephrine and Zirtek. 4. Laundry: Again out characters can survive for multiple days and with all that running we must sweat a metric ton, so we will need a way to wash out clothes every so often otherwise we could get sick from the smell. So you would have to find something to use as a clothes line and some laundry soap, then you just head on down to a stream or any body of water and spend some time washing your clothes then hanging them up to dry on your homemade clothes line. Believe me guys with all these mechanics we will have a great time experiencing realism. I have no idea why people will think that adding poop to the game will lead to it being abused I mean we are all mature players here right? So what is with the arguments against it. /end sarcasm As many others have pointed out this mechanic really serves no purpose. If I wanted to baby-sit an avatar that I have to feed, clothe, and make it go use the toilet I could go watch my niece for my step brother and it would be a real living person not a bunch of pixels. This game already is a huge time-sink with having to find friends, getting kicked from servers and dealing with rubber banding that sends me back a few hundred meters. I mean could you imagine rubber banding and using a defecation mechanic and have to shit multiple times for it to register. Just please no.
