And yet another thread on xp penalty (moved to main thread - let this one sink)

Edited. Feedback is now here, on main xp penalty thread.

When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch?
If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch.
Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart...

I don't see why the XP penalty should be removed. It's a fantastic way to force people to actually make good builds and not exceed the limits of what their build is capable of.

With no XP penalty, leveling in Standard would immediately become unrewarding.

Look, I get it, you have a level 93 character and dying at level 90+ is no fun. But your level 93 would be meaningless if any old crappy build could get it. Having an XP penalty means that getting a high level in softcore still represents some level of achievement beyond "this guy had 500 spare hours to play on this character!"

For what it's worth, you CAN make builds that can do 99% of map bosses. The only boss I ever skip is Palace Dominus if there are particularly dangerous mods which make the odds of getting 1-shot very high (combo of -max + extra projectiles is most common culprit).

Interesting approach. This is actually a good argument but I would prefer if the reward side gets changed, not the risk side.
XP penalty should be tied to char level and not to difficulty level. Loose 95% of XP at lvl 1 and 1% of XP at lvl 95. Something like that. Currently the penalty doesn't matter at all until lvl 80, it's somehow annoying at 80 - 90 and too prohibitive at 90+.
