Expectations for Occult Crescent?

(I just can't stand game modes, where the game takes something away from me when I die - exp, equip, whatever).

Skill issue.

...okay I am joking, but seriously, while I agree with you typically, I never found it to be that much of an issue in XIV, Eureka you never lose XP if you don't Return, and people have always been very kind about that and gone out of their way to rez people in the most hostile environments imaginable and I've responded in kind when I was capable of doing so, just going "Can I get a rez? <pos>" in Shout chat is enough, and in Bozja you can straight up never delevel, I imagine Occult Crescent will be at least similar to Bozja in that regard where deleveling is impossible, I would still prefer if the penalty wasn't looming over my head at all, but it also isn't *really* there in the end of the day.

When years ago the game stole my house, I yelled some very dirty words at my monitor, deleted everything on my first account, and rage quit It took 2 years for me to return, and now I simply ignore housing at all. This is definitely a personal issue of mine - I just can't stand when a game starts taking away what I earned myself.
But you're saying this doesn't happen in Bozja at all? So it seems I stepped into Eureka, and then didn't even look at Bozja when I stumbled into it years later. Another good reason to give the new field operation a chance at least

This lame design led me to not even caring about mettle ranks in bozja past what needed for relic.

Minus xp should be in a content designed for humans.
