when you die you should actually die

It is not a mini-game, geez. It is called, 'the downed state'. Not all professions throw rocks, You haven't tried them all.
You aren't quite dead, close to death.
I don't think it will go away, sorry.
It's actually a good feature, IMO. God knows how many times I should have ended up dead, but thanks to the downed state I get 2nd chances.
But I don't see a downside to making the feature optional, toggled via in-game settings.
thats what is stupid about it.. esp in pvp if your dead why do we have to make sure your dead? when hp goes to 0 your dead! so we can move on to other players
Leave the past and move on to the future ....learning how to finish someone off is just learning more skills

Because it's a feature that actually serves a purpose. Another layer to the pvp combat if you will.
Without it, people would just always go for super glassy builds, because they could just kill someone super quick and not have to worry about it. Thanks to the downed state, this type of playstyle has it's downsides. Besides having to be careful about dying, it gives each team a chance to react to sudden burst kills. It also gives teams the option of leaving corpses alive and letting them 'bleed out', which makes enemy reinforcements take long. It's a tactical choice.
Furthermore, you don't need to do the whole 'throwing rocks' mini game, if you don't want to. You can let yourself die, you can Vengeance (with the trait u can actually revive yourself if you're good), you can stall your death (guardian), or hide yourself in an attempt to res without the enemy knowing (mesmer / thief), or you can try and glide to your team so they can res you. There's a lot of options there.
You may not like it (maybe you're one of those players who just like to pew pew and not ask questions), but it does add another layer of strategy, and allows the game meta to not be dominated by 1 shot glass cannon pewpew builds. Some of them could use tweaking, but I don't think they'll go anywhere.
Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
Wow, just wow.....its a good feature. On both sides. You have to deliver the kill shot. But also the enemy tends to stop fighting if they care about their companions and while they stop to try to rez them.........guess what? You get the opportunity to maximize on their decision and kill them also.
Every hear the term "kill shot" or "double tapping" a body when someone is shot? Its to make sure your target is dead or else when you turn your back they may take one last try at killing you. The military does that at times......safety measure.
