And that's without going into that part of your suggestion is for a system that isn't even hinted at!

I never said it would deter bad play FF 11 has a death penalty and it doesn't stop bad play. ok what i think you trying to say about the sp to hp % loss thing is you can get by it by just killing lower level mobs in a large quantity but this is its own punishment it gonna take your much longer to rank up and if your dying to them which means your no good at your class you'll be useless in any content, players wont want to carry you though the game, you'll have no friends, you'll just have an all around bad time playing and you'll quit. thing is too your looking at it as a viable option but when your looking at a 50k tnr at 50 sp a kill its a real put off. also the system i'm talking about is already in the game.

Bring back some EXP loss when you die. I have no inhibitions at present and would prefer some "s**t don't die I don't wanna lose my EXP!"

Not quite as steep as FFXI though, maybe 2-3 mobs worth of EXP

LOL at OP are u serious? steep? really? lmao

You have no idea what I am talking about. I'm saying "players intentionally agroing lowel level mobs in order to be killed by them", it is essentiallly "Mob B kills steals from Mob A. To prevent death at Mob A's hands." And all this BS about "it being you own punishment, you'll have no friends" is ridiculous. Underconned mobs are a favorite in MMORPGs, it keeps players on their toes, and your system fails to provide for death by them. Vacuous statements and assuming the "shame" of gamers will carry the day is how we got such a lousy DP to begin with, causing the consequences of players throwing themselves at the enemy without a care.

If there is an exploit, people will use it. You don't think everyone has been failing leves to 50 were doing it simply because they couldn't play well? Or that current zombie tactics will take you off the friends list? There's no point, no consequence, and only the slightest chance of failure! Your monocle is in your tea, sir.

casuals trying to ruin the game further ugh.
