You die and no clerics on? Time to bail on your group because you're done for the night.
On the flipside, level 50s bank 1000 corpses and when Kunark comes out, rez them all for massive XP gain.

Death is meant to be punishing, which is why soloing is risky if you don't have a pocket cleric at your beck and call.

I don't mean to sound like I'm making a character judgment against you specifically, but if people do that, they get stuck on my no-group list. Playing as a monk, it's my job to die for the group to prevent trains.

Hell, I remember ranting at warriors for QQing how often they died on raids. A monk before Stonewall and Rapid Feign and all that would die 5x more often than a tank on a raid.

Sorry, got a bit off-topic there. Point is, sometimes things go bad. If the group keeps dieing and has no rezzes, then fair enough. But if you die once due to a minor issue and camp to wait for a rez... well... good luck with that. You could've made the XP back in the time you took to log out and wait for a cleric to rez you.

If I spent half as much time playing as forum-ing, I'd be 50 by now.
