Oh, so you do agree with me that there should be a stricter death penalty, thanks for finally changing your mind!~

If anything it should be a longer weakness period if you use return while "unconscious" (but not when raised by a non-Cnj/Whm). I actually don't agree with the gear damage, it's pointless and only really hurts newer players. But that's just IMO.

Exp loss/deleveling doesn't foster a particularly helpful environment. I had a terrible time getting help for things in FFXI if there was a chance that the people who didn't need the mission/fight might die during it (until SE removed the death penalty for mission BCNMs, anyway).

I was really happy when FFXIV came out and had durability loss instead of exp loss. I can always pay people for the repair costs they might incur from helping me, but I can't pay them back lost exp.

Better yet, each death = automatic level loss! Mohahaha!

Dear god, no, do NOT NOT NOT bring exp loss or de-leveling to this game. Just DON'T.

Just a thought that came to my head and is less a global death penalty and more of a Penalty for deaths in certain content. They could setup a penalty where if x number of deaths occur in a dungeon/etc a powerful shade/ascian comes to reap you for cheating death so many times and if you wipe against him you get auto kicked from the area.
