Oh look, your gear condition has lowered by 10%! And you have to return to a home point. Is this supposed to be scary? NO.
I want to feel terrified of dying. I want to **** my pants every time I enter a dungeon or face a threatening enemy. This game NEEDS the element of constant fear.
Stop cattering to the casual market, and please try to bring back hardcore elements from the old FFXI days.


Please bring back deleveling for 2.0!!!
well unfortunately they want to cater to both casuals cause apparently us hardcore are a dying breed. so they can make as much money as possible. Theres no way for them to find an equal ground. The stuff they add for casuals, hardcores blow through it in no time and complain this stuff is to easy, and they add stuff like relic and casual complain that they cant get it.

But to death penalty, it does NOTHING, it doesnt add fear like you want , it an annoyance,yes. But all i think is oh great now i can wear that one piece of 50 gear if your wearing anything thats 50. The Brink of death status at your second death is penalty enough. Running back to your body, or Having to work of an xp debt, or deleveling was not a good system at all.
