Corpse runs were painful. They create a situation where if died in a dungeon while fully geared, there is no freaken way you can get there naked, without outside help.
If it was a trivial death outdoor - its also no challenge of getting it back.
I liked early EQ2 system where your gear took durability loss of death and gave you XP debt. Since we can't have those, I would settle for:
-you keep items on death
-you still take XP loss to prevent "no penalty exploring"
Plat sinks - are good when they are smart plat sinks. EQ1 crafting was a tremendous plat sink for very little reward - title of grand smith after putting literally millions of plat into it, because outside of a very limited time scope of early game there was nothing worth crafting that could compete with sold loot.
My idea: Healing potions and Weight Reduction bags cannot be crafted or looted - they vendor sold only.
