Loose content not progression.

The death penalties when mapping is great in theory but is a horrible gaming experience..

All the "get goods" and the "skill issues" when this topic is pointed out helps no-one and there will be people quitting the game because of it.

The Exp loss is to be expected but maybe leave 1 portal so you're given 1 more chance to complete that map or to collect the items you've left and have all the added content and interactions disappear.
