“Why should we debuff you, take away experience, or make you run around for five minutes as a ghost instead of letting you actually play the game? We couldn’t think of a reason. Well, we did actually think of a reason—it just wasn’t a good one. Death penalties make death in-game a more tense experience. It just isn’t fun. We want to get you back into the action (fun) as quickly as possible. Defeat is the penalty; we don’t have to penalize you a second time.”

Where is the fun part lying on the floor waiting/hoping for a rez, while putting the kind soul who rez you at risk?
You can’t really do much but pray for a rez or the rest to wipe grin so that you can WP back and get into play.

There may be folks who love to meditate on the ground. I’ll prefer to be in action given the limit time I have to enjoy the game. If I wanted meditation, I would have taken up yoga lessons instead of GW2.

You can say learn not to die, but kitten happens. I’ll prefer to let my friends or PUGs to enjoy the action. If I’m not able to rez them, at least let them WP and join in the fun asap.
