It's Hard

The thing that REALLY gets me is the OUTRAGEOUS DEATH PENALTY!!
10%?? REALLY??
My character is at level 84, and I am not confident enough in Triple G's servers to even attempt maps even still, so I am stuck with the normal game areas, which are still CRAZY HARD....
That having been said, it is near impossible to get any experience at my level anywhere except the Scepter, and Triple G seems to LOVE to kill you there.
My character is a Shadow who relies on evasion to stay alive, as well as a considerable energy shield bank, I do around 24k dps, and have adequate AOE to boot. Unfortunately, I HATE to be surrounded, so when I see a large gathering of monsters, I try to pull off from the pack as much as I can. (with desync this can be impossible)
Anyways, the issue I have is that every little closet seems to be packed with an ungodly amount of enemies, and they are there every time you turn a corner surrounding you. This leads to quick, unexpected deaths, and this is not even mentioning my MAIN gripe, CORRUPTED BLOOD, the most broken piece of facepalm in the game,and then they take 10% of your progress to the next level away
Again, I HAVE to say, 10%????
Do you know how long it takes to get 10% at 84 Grind Gear?? Like a week of playing....
If I complete the entire Scepter, I get like 2%!!
Come On Grind Gear, WTF!!
