[dev1002] The entire world lacking as a battle environment.

Then try not to die. If you do so what it's only 3 minutes. Go get a drink or something while you wait. It's no different than dying in many other games. You die, you have to sit through a screen saying "game over" or something, then you have to go through a menu to reload your saved game. If it's a quick respawn type of game then you likely have to start at a previous checkpoint that makes you go through more of the game.

There's penalties in the video game world for dying. Why should MMO's be any different? Because cry babies like you don't want to wait 3 minutes? Give me a break.

And If I already have a drink and don't need to bio or anything else you might come up with? Simply because I place more value on my time than you how does that make me a cry baby. I don't think I have ever been that emotionally attached to any video game or mechanic in a video game to cry over it. In most FF games I've played I often would just come right back from the save point that was right before the boss fight I died on.

Because you're whining over something very minor. A penalty of some sort is needed, especially in an MMO. They are in all video games. If you don't like it, tough. They simply are not going to get rid of death penalties so you're wasting your time complaining about it.

Also, video games are technically a waste of time anyway, and if you play an MMO, something people typically spend many hours a day playing you clearly don't value it that much.

Well for me it's fun vs not fun. Losing hours worth of progression and or standing around not playing is not fun. I'm not whining simply defending my stance and thoughts on the subject just as you are doing. I'm not saying they need to chop death penalties all together but they need to limit how much "not fun" their players have to deal with. As it stands now there is already a whole bunch of "not fun" in this game. I don't think they need to add more.

You must play all your games on easy mode.

Thats news to me. I often go for platinum trophies that require you to complete the game on it's hardest mode. To me in no way does time sink or death penalty equal challenge.
