You kinda confusing "pain" and "Injury". Pain is a feeling nothing more, while an injury is the physical wound itself... in a way you can have pain without injury and you can injury without pain. In a sense the fact that pain is imaginary is irrelevant because it FEELS real. While it is good that none of their injuries would be permanent, the fact that they can still feel pain is pretty horrible. I mean as we saw, that one guy from laughing coffin was using that imaginary pain to sadistically torment Kirito... at that moment, the pain being imaginary didn't matter.
Not to mention that while the players might not suffer physical injuries (not counting having their brains fried), their physical bodies were still suffering form being in the game for so long. Being stuck in a bed for years will cause a great deal of deterioration that would take months of rehabilitation to recover... even when you get out, it may be months (depending on how long they were stuck inside the game before someone won) before you can go out for a simple walk on your own.

Yeah you certainly have a point with that the people will have to go for months in rehabilitation, but that is not connected to the pain ingame at all...
The point with the pain absorption system is that if you could tell your brain that this injury is only ingame and not happening in reality, you would feel no pain.
No matters how you look at it, if a sword is stuck into your stomach it should hurt, that's why Kirito is feeling pain but that pain is not real.
The scene later when his hand got chopped off, do you think his actions afterwards were appropiate of somebody just loosing his hand?
If pain would be real it would hurt like hell and he certainly would not embrace Asuna...
Well for the Kayaba discussion I'm off to new thread
