Sorry, but you're falling in the logical fallacy that if someone doesn't agree with you he doesn't "Listen" (based on the presumption that you're right by default). I listen plenty, and I see entirely weak points based on the delusion that wasting time = challenge.
Looks like basically every MMO developer came to the same conclusion lately.
And yet they still make tons of money while you sit at home complaining about wasting time on a game. Every game has it, mmo or not and its worked for a very long time so you sir are the one failing. I never said I was right or that OP is right but the ammount of times I've seen you complain about timesinks in multiple threads over the past few days just drives me to the conclusion that you don't listen.

I never said penalties = challenge, neither did the OP. It is simply a mental deterence to make players work harder to stay alive instead of accepting death because they can still fight weakened without worry. That alone is silly and needs to be done away with.
