I suppose I am being a little self-absorbed, I am just tired of people thinking that by making a word, or certain subjects, or certain substances taboo that it will just "go away" and everything will be hunky-dory again.
Bottom line, if someone doesn't like the plot of AO, complain to FC. We're paying customers. Just don't be surprised when they don't change it. At that point all you can do is vote with your feet, stop paying FC and, as Paldorr put it, "do something else."
Ok, so you wouldn't have a problem with a plot in which clan members run a suicide mission to crash planes into Rome towers, killing thousands good for you. And no one is pretending the bad things don't exist, all they are saying is that they would rather be entertained by original plot material than be subjected to a very recycled plot line that happens to remind people of a rather painful event. And yes I agree, this entire thread is about complaining to FC

Well, we have a plot where OT let 74 (or so) Atrox die because of cost. Isn't it a matter of scale, really? Each life is the end of the universe for some person. That's a catastrophic event any way you look at it. I abhor killing. I understand, though, that in the course of human events, sometimes it becomes "necessary".
You can think whatever you like about your perception of my personal philosophy ... in war, vast atrocities are possible, sometimes inevitable. Terrorists feel they are at war, and execute "military" operations. To a fanatic, anything is fair game.
I grieve for any and all victims of terrorism, anywhere in the world, even in cyberspace.

Who wouldn't?
I find that the storyline is pretty well done, actually. How do you define originality? "There's nothing new under the sun." (I can't remember who said that but it's a good quote.)
Within the storyline I've found something to base my character on, giving me a basis for roleplaying, and a motivation for playing this game, something I have been missing in PC gaming for quite a few years.
I've seen worse storylines .... *thinks of many MMORPGS*
If it offends people, I'm sorry. I stopped watching the news, it offended me one too many times. Everyone has their triggers and this issue is just not that big of a deal to me. I'm going to keep playing, I'm having fun for my money ...
