geniusprime, while I respect your opinion and your right to it, I wholeheartedly disagree. The death penalty in this game is far from steep. In most current MMO's you will suffer far worse a penalty for dieing. If there wasn't some kind of punishment for being killed there would be no motivation for players to learn to play their roles and improve themselves. If anything the death penalty should be harsher than it is now.

However, I feel there are more noteworthy things to complain about in this game. I may still be fairly new here but during my time in game I have noticed many things that need improving. For starters the game engine is poorly optimized and would benefit greatly with a 64 bit executable option for those on a 64 bit OS and with DX 10/11 support. My point being of course that things could be far, far worse when it comes to dieing in FFXIV.
