I find the tense rather annoying to read, and it is nice no know that the intent is to be polite. I suppose I feel that emotes should read like a book, which are typically written in the past tense unless there is a good reason not to. Just because an action is written in the past tense doesn't mean it is somehow written in stone ^^
In actions that are expected to be opposed it is easy to shift either to present tense or use wording that makes it clear the described action is an attempt, rather than slipping into the very unusual realm of the Future Perfect. To me it just instinctively rings on the ear to as an attempt to sound more formal, and just never felt right (which is why the actual intent is helpful now to know ^^). But writing style is a highly personal matter.
