I personally hate people like that. I mean seriously. Just to get a laugh of toons dieing in buildings? Thats like really immature
First, they don't die, they only go sad.
Second, it's not their going sad that is funny. It's how they act and such. Seeing a 15 laff with weenie gags going in with other toons who are no higher than 40 laff, saying "We can do this!" as the elevator doors shut.. It's just too funny. It gets even better when you tell them that it's too risky for them, you wouldn't if you were them, etc, and they still insist on going in. Then there are those who know that they will go sad but go in anyway.
Watching from inside, it gets even more amusing. Seeing players doing all sorts of things that just won't work (bad teamwork) and they end up at the playground fast. Then there are times when someone is down to like two laff points but then instead of trying to hit the cog to kill it (and the cog is blinking red), they call their doodle as though it will give them a whole new start in the battle. There are those who will somehow manage to defeat the first floor and with just a few laff points left, board the elevator to the next floor, as though they'll magically not get hit anymore or something.
It's a benefit to them and to others in many ways. They learn to know their limits, the value of teamwork, what gags work together and which don't, etc. From that, they are given the opportunity to become better players so that when they are in boss battles with us, we aren't getting frustrated because they're playing like idiots, messing us up and causing complications that we have to recover from. Not only that, but some players are using free accounts and buildings are so rare in TTC that they don't care if they go sad, they just want to be able to go in one. If the building is too easy, then it's taken down quickly and not enjoyed by too many people. Put up the strongest building there is and then suddenly many players (especially on free accounts) can enjoy the pleasure of going in and fighting inside of it.
It's not done with the intent of causing someone to go sad. Yes, we know that they'll most likely go sad
if they go in. But sometimes, they don't care about that. It's like a novelty item to them, they have fun with it. It's also a good teaching lesson for some arrogant toons who think that they are something special. I've seen some players go in with a semi decent group, lost the team one by one and then the last player keeps going and then end up going sad on the last floor (with several cogs left to go), because they thought they could do anything just because they've solo'd other five story buildings before. It teaches them what they didn't already learn, that they need to way the risks and better evaluate if they need help or not. I've seen a few who went sad on the forth floor and lost a few level seven gags, when they could have bailed out on the third floor.
All in all, the babies tend to enjoy it, despite the intent of the building being called.
