    Its mentioned in the early dialogue, and I'm sure people would complain if it popped up every time they died.
    Compared to how many trivial warnings they have ("oh you want to buy healer gear while on a DPS even though you have leveled healers, are you really sure?"), this is probably a case where it's actually warranted. You very rarely want to release past whatever level the penalty kicks in, given the penalty. The dialog box doesn't even mention it, just that text way back at the start.

    (And yes it does. Like I said, tired. Was a long day. Wasn't paying close enough attention, just saw a res macro with my name on it and whacked the button. Turned out it was a hardcast and hadn't gone off yet...)
    You know what shocks me about that post? not long after they went to defend one of those useless messages (though deleted I am sure it was deleted for the very reason to defend SE) and here they basically state that a exp message loss is not needed. Do you find that as double standard? it does not have to be much, just add some text in the raise box on how much exp you lose. Even though I made the mistake 0 times getting to level 20, it is because I really made an effort to remind myself I do not want to lose 2 + hours of work over something caused from being mindless. Even though I personally did not need it, I still find it confusing it is not stated somewhere in the homepoint message.

    So ya I am very confused how someone can defend not having some sort of message added in the homepoint box about losing exp and how much you will lose on return (no added dialog box though plz, we don't need more menu bloat)
