    One could argue that every step of an MMo is a pointless hurdle, as ultimately you are in a constant cycle of "get better gear to get better gear, to make getting better gear easier".

    Losing experience gave FFXI a very real sense of danger when you were going to die. FFXIV currently gives me no such feelings, I die, meh, I home point and am back again.

    The penalty is the reason you DONT want to die, thus encouraging people to play better, but as it is now, no penalty has me caring less than I thought possible when I hit the dust.
    Really, getting a buffer was one of the most pointless and annoying thing I've ever came across. It was also one of the most frequent complaints I hear while playing XI. I have no buffer, I cant go on this job cuz I got no buffer, oh crap I deleveled and cant use any of my gear.
    Weakness is enough of a punishment, dont need to kick the player in the stomach while on the ground. But I guess that would be hardcore huh.
