You can't unlock aetherytes until you're 9. You can't use your mount until you're 17. Dying is already penalizing enough by virtue of time wasted and frustration for having to run all across the map again; losing exp on top of that... yeah.
Just need to practice on those stealth skills!
Former FFXI player here, developed my stealth skills in that game, have only died once and I'm lvl 10. Those Eureka pots help too.

Also no to the removal of exp loss. I agree with Nora.
