Deleveling was a necessary element as the game doesn't punish you enough for dying in FFXIV.
That anyone ever in the entire world has this opinion is completely and utterly shocking to me. Deleveling is probably the worst mechanic ever. If you're going to die and fail at something anyway you should not be further punished by losing experience points that you had to spend time earning. Maybe every time you die SE should randomly just delete an item in your character's inventory and in really rare cases the entire character - wouldn't that be cool!?
