Does gear damage motivate more not to die? Nope, I was already at max motivation. It makes me hate the game every few raids though.
Who referred to you specifically? If there's not a good penalty for death, then people aren't going to give two shits about dying. Walking back to where the mob was and waiting 2 minutes for weakness to wear off isn't memorable or a large inconvenience. Having to go back to town or get decreased stats because you keep doing stupid stuff like running through mobs 25 ranks above you is going to make a lot of people stop doing that, or else they're just going to complain about it because they don't learn.
