This barely happens, that's the point. Most 'bullshit deaths' I've seen were perfectly preventable. And even if it happens every once in a while, this doesn't warrant the removal of the incentive to play and build well.

Also, from today's Q&A with Chris.

"What are your thoughts on the current state of the death penalty?

We are happy with the death penalty in its current form."

But did the person asking the question specify "How are your views on the Death Penalty for players 90+?"

Because yes, the death penalty is working for 89% of the game, but that last 11 levels is where it gets out of wack.

Need to specify, because if a company doesn't have to, why would they call "a death penalty that is working for 89% of the game" a bad thing?

The death penalty isn't bad during the game. Just that last 11%, and 11% out of 100% doesn't seem like a big deal, but those are the ones that matter.

Remember in first grade, when you'd promise to trade your chocolate milk for somebody's brownie, and then when they gave you their brownie, you showed them you had your fingers crossed.

Them's the feels I'm getting here.

@Scrotie:
FWIW, I am not in favor of a corpse recovery mechanic either, but I am (and have been) in favor of a revenge mechanic. Not because I feel the death penalty needs fixin', but because I think a revenge mechanic would be awesome.

Revenge mechanic won't work in a game like this. There is so much random killing, that the chance is slim to none that when you return to the map the monster that killed you will still be there.

The group would have to be very disciplined to see what mob killed your party mate, and run away to make sure he gets the kill.
