To OP: If you think this Death Penalty in FFXIV or lack there of as I would call it is rough you should probably explore other MMOs. To me dying means you should lose EXP/SP sometimes deleveling your character and also giving it a 5 minute weakness. There is practically no repercussions for dying in this game, thus most Archers shoot blindly until a mob is dead not worry about getting killed in the process. If you do get killed who cares, you took most of the mobs HP and come back 3 minutes later and your ready to go...and on top of that you gained the SP while lying on the ground...LOL. This game in my opinion needs more of a penalty to keep players from going crazy and make hate control more of a focal point. But that all begins with harder fights, better enmity, etc...that's for another topic.
