sorry but WHAT?

I am in favor of severe punishment for being stupid

I am strongly against a system that does not incur at least a 50% sp/exp penalty for dying.

You sir, are silly.

More along the lines of the topic I agree with your assessment of the situation Keith. But there will always be people who disagree with the concept of an exp/sp penalty on principle. I think this may stem from being able to have a hand in the batter of the future of this game. I'm not sure too many people would be up in arms if a more strict system were in place from the start.

Many people think they know what is best when in fact no one truly knows Anything.

We all have theories which we postulate as the truth as given us by Heaven on a shining platter with a side of fries and a small root beer.

Okay, 50 percent might seem like a lot at first, but this is assuming we'd also get exp raises / re-raises and re-raise items we can buy at some point. The "at least" part should've been moreso 40 percent. That's a bit more realistic and fair.

True, while I don't know whats best for this game I try to spout ideas that wont' interfere with other peoples gaming while giving a bonus to the gameplay itself. Which is the reason I only made 1 topic (3 times lol) since this forums has come up because in no way do I feel my ideas are the end all be all of FFXIV ideas.

Sadly even my best suggestions get bogged down and pushed aside by the many silly topics or totally ignored in the new section. :P

Lol, well in this case, I just can't bring myself to say, "Sure, I'd love to be punished!", which I imagine is the bottom line for most arguments against stiff penalties.

Being that this is a game, there is validity in the argument that a game shouldn't punish its players. It being implimented wouldn't make me quit, but I'm not going to say that I would like it.

I don't wanna say I like it cause i'll be the first person in game going "But imma die and lose my XP/SP! ; ;". Something has to be done to help deter players away from just mindlessly throwing their lives away for no real reason other then "No hair off my back I'll just run back and do it again!"

Hm. Well... I'm asking this because I really do like to explore all sides of an issue (when it's being discussed, not flamed), but... why? Why is that bad necessarily? Other than the anima exploit that Yoshi-P mentioned.
