Looking at the 13 characters with highest Strength, 9 have zero ancestors, 2 have one ancestor, 1 have two, and 1 have three. Their value in Strength is not obviously correlated to the number of ancestors. The one with the most Strength has zero ancestors. Most seem to have died to "natural causes".

Admittedly, I might not have looked at enough data, but the complaints I've received about this have been to the effect of "other people are doing this", and then when I've looked at other people, they've generally died to other causes rather than suicide. This, coupled with the fact that we've felt that it's a nice thing that you get something positive when you die has led us to not want to change it. That's not to say that we aren't wrong, though. Again, I might not have looked far enough to find the people hungerciding.

There's a similar story when I look at Agility, if that's better. To the extent that there are character that do appear to have suicided, they seem to have done so pretty early in the game.

We know its beneficial to our characters because last world the people who did die ended up being the highest statted characters in the village. The only person I know who 100% suicides on purpose is Felix and he he has the best stats in the game because of it. The fact that youre looking at miner characters and making assumptions is quite stupid.
Also do you realize how insanely difficult it is to actually full kill someone now? It's virtually impossible and what do you get for it? You help them to get a better character than they had before? Wow. This type of shit honestly kills my will to PvP in this game. Not only is all these KO fights totally inconsequential but even if you pull off a miracle and full kill the best character in the game like I did, it quite literally means nothing.
I personally have experienced it, I drowned last world and in the long run ended up with a much better character than I otherwise would have because of the hunger reset. If I was to do it on purpose I would eat like crazy beforehand, totally nuke my hunger bar and benefit even more.
