Bring back xp loss.
Please don't associate good game design like Dark Souls with garbage mechanics like XP loss.

In Dark Souls, every death is a lesson, and it's firm but fair. You learn how to be a better player and ultimately you lose nothing but time you spent going through a level or fighting a boss and possibly this game's equivalent of money (souls). You keep your weapons. You keep your levels. Your character isn't the crutch, you are.

XP loss is garbage that makes you afraid to do anything because of the chance that something will go south and cost you a level up and takes a long, LONG time to obtain. It doesn't teach you anything other than to not help other people or be an elitist jerk. Your character becomes something that prevents you from playing the game to its fullest.

XP loss sucks.
