P.S. And no, I was not being serious about losing gear on death. But I was merely illustrating the fact that crafters DO have a penalty for failure, unlike what Akuun was trying to claim.
Thank You Kaedan for that EXCELLENT answer.I'm not a big fan of sp/xp lost upon death, HOWEVER, if thats the rate at which sp/xp is lost im actually all for it. Now that I've agreed this specific circumstance SOMEONE will most likely say that its not enough of a deterrent so it should be upped to 15~25% loss on death, and you know what... don't even go there.
