FFXIV: Death Penalty

I'm not a fan of death penalties in any game. I found XI's death penalty to be ridiculous. I think I would have been fine with losing 10% of my experience per level but with it being possible to down level was just too far.

Simply put I don't want to see this in FFXIV in any shape of form. World of Warcraft has a good system and if they were to copy any other game it should be that one. You turn to a ghost when you die, you have the option if walking back and getting back to work or resurrecting at the Spirit Healer and then you get a 10 minute debuff that lowers your stats by 75%

I'll be very disappointed if you can down level in XIV.

  4. WoW doesn't penalize enough for dying, while FFXI penalizes too much. Neither system is good imo.
