    Well that could very well be true because I can't recall dying to anything which resulted in SP that I wasn't fighting before it bit my face off. I really can't imagine any scenario in which this wouldn't be the case actually now that I think about it.

    You don't get EXP at all anymore.

    Next time someone gets indignant at the suggestion that some people want to be rewarded for just about everything these days.. I'm linking them to this OP.

    Now I'm just going to wait for someone to seriously argue, "Well what's wrong with that? These games are supposed to be fun! Not getting xp just because you're dead isn't fun! It's a pointless time sink intended to drag the game out longer!!"

    You should be glad we are not losing EXP from dying. OMG The countless times when I just leveled up, my party would clap, cheer, and congratulate me, only to see that I drop to the ground fighting the next monster and have that big text popping up on my dead body "LEVEL DOWN" accompanied with a depressing sound efect.

    Well, back on the topic, I must admit that I frowned when I first found out that the patch changed it so we don't get EXP while dead anymore. But I think this is quite good. It gives incentive for people to stay alive in EXP party! It also let you test and see how loyal your party mages (or team members) are, judging from whether they made effort to raise you immediately or not. :P

    In a more serious mode, it's actually good that now people (including me) can't be spoiled by just laying there as a dead body and still get EXP from the kill. Have to struggle to come back to life one way or another. This is what it should be from the beginning. I wish SE have never spoiled me with all the EXP gaining in my death! Because it makes me miss those EXP nowadays. *sniff*

    No, I agree that if you just lay dead and your team is fighting mobs (new ones) since your death, you shouldn't get exp from that. However if your close to killing a chain full of mobs, and you decide to keep the party alive in exchange for dying, you should get the exp especially if they die just a few seconds after you do.
    Should have made myself more clear when starting the thread lol, but I was called into a meeting right before I finished posting.

    It also meant that while people went afk and died and didn't raise they wouldnt get exp for just sitting there.

    Anyway exp is easy enough to bloody get now, stop complaining. There'd be no point in dying at this rate if SE actually listened to some of these idiotic suggestions. Oh well why not just give us infinite HP so we don't die at all! how much fun would that be?!

    We should get 2x EXP when we die to reward our bravery.
