sorry but WHAT?

There are several other threads on this topic, making another one is senseless.

It's also senseless to claim that exp loss will lead to powerleveling. I'm not in favor of either, but they're two completely separate issues.

Also, PL can't happen in WoW, I don't know what you're talking about.

Your central point is pretty clever - pointing out that death penalties are a waste of time that will be made up for by the very same people that demand them.

thats more my reasoning for asking my question lol

I pretty much don't get why death penalties is such a hot topic, thayts why I made a topic in asking vs derailing idea threads with my question.

Ok I hope my new try at this was a bit less troll ish. I also took the time to edit my defensive so This thread can show the real point of it.

Pretty much I'm confused on why death penalties is a hot topic. Amd I'm confused on why people want harsher ones in place. :3

Any help our your thoughts will help in my trying to understand it. :3

How hard is it to simply post your question in the bigger thread? The ones containing posts with developer information?

Did you even buy FFXIV or are you just trolling around?

SE should really make the forums for people with FFXIV accounts only. I would almost start paying just to get rid of people that already quit FFXIV but still can't get over it and camp the forums 24/7.

actually you do need and account or least a code to sign up for the forums. Least I did. So yes I do own a copy of ffxiv. Due to PC issues I can't play it yet.

And the reason I made this thread because if I posted it in the 3 topics, 1 i would have to rewrite everything 3 times. And 2 i would be derailing their Idea thread with my question.

Again not trying to be mean. How does me owning ffxiv or not have to do me with me asking a question on why something is a popular topic to discuss on a forum.

If people don't wanna reply to it thats ok, Just let the thread go. It be a bit nicer to do

Like the others I'm not sure making a thread complaining against a subject was a good idea but anyway, here's my answer.

Personally, I'm in favor of death penalty. While they don't need to be extremely harsh, they need to be enough to make you dislike dying. I find that it's a way to bring tension or excitement to the game(not sure if that's the right way to say it but whatever).

I explain, currently there's no afterthought for dying. In a fight when you see you might lose, right now, the common reaction is just to continue the fight the same way and if i die, well that's it and if i way, it's cool.

But with a correct death penalty, it's different. Since death is something you hate, you'll do your best to stay alive. If you might lose the fight, you'll try thing like fleeing, using a potion, using the terrain to your advantage, call for help or anything else that can increase your surviving chances. You would probably keep food on you since anything that increase your surviving chances is good and be more careful about gear choice(by that i mean use something in the correct rank range).

Still that's just my opinion. I see death penalty as a way to increase "challenge" and turn a lot of useless game mechanic useful. When you don't care about surviving, why would you care about stuff that don't give you an incredible advantage like the potions or food? As for the challenge part, it's just that when I'm in a dire situation, i want to have the feeling that it's a dire situation, not think, whatever, i'll just try again in 5 mins.

However I do understand people who see it as a time sink and find that mechanic useless.

I'm not being a troll. >.> kinda being hostil much ya think?
And there sorry but having snowflake-itis is getting annoying we already of 3 denth penalty threads. We don't need more. I much rather see 1 thread with 1K posts then 1K thread with 5 posts. All you are doing is necroing posts faster.

I find it funny how you said the above quote in another thread and 20mins later you made a new thread.. fail..

[Kilta_Firelotus]

this is not a complaint thread. This is not a new thread about the same subject.
This thread is a discussion on why something is a topic. I am not saying it is bad to talk about it, just shocked and confused and looking for answers.
And just dudn't want to derail a thread to ask.

question is simple.
why is a games death penetly a popular topic. I'm not asking for opinions on said subject. Nor am I'm saying talking about it is bad.

I also appologised for that comment.

[Kilta_Firelotus]

ran out room
do take time to actually read what I typed. You will see I'm not against the topic. Just surpised it is a topic at all, even more suprised that ppl want a harsher penalty.

I already put my 2 cents in the threads with ideas of a death penalty.
