So, what is it... 1 skill point, 10, more... you changed your claim there just slightly.

Sorry, when did I ever say 10?

Please stop making assumptions / putting words in my mouth

Or most of the playerbase doesn't care about reaching max lvl.

Said with so much confidence yet so little evidence. I can point to hundreds of threads of people quitting POE 2 over this. I will be generous and give you wide threshold - can you point me to *any* game ever, where hundreds have quit and complained because it was too easy to reach max level?

Crafting is so heavily RNG, and good/relevant end game loot drops are so rare that - often times, the only thing players have to show from beating maps is progress on their bar. But when you can lose progress from ten/twenty/thirty maps in one foul, unreactable, poorly telegraphed one-hit-kill... it's demoralizing/demotivating & ceases to be fun for most people.

Why do I say most? Well, given that only 4 players have reached level 100 this whole season - if it were true that most people preferred this design philosophy, I would expect to see at least 51% of peak seasonal players stick around trying to reach level 100. However, the real number is far below that.

Or most of the playerbase don't care about reaching max lvl. It has so little effect on total character power. If you're losing 30% xp in a map (at 96 i get 1-2% per map) then you probably aren't ready for harder content.

I asked for this. I will continue to ask for this.
I like that endgame farming is punctuated by ups and downs, by feelings of danger followed by relief, and that occasionally you notice a scary mob or situation and ask yourself whether it's really worth it. This more than anything is what breaks up the monotony of the endgame grind.

Experience loss one death is one of the handful of things from PoE 1 that I feel strongly should not be altered. It's a great system for rewarding good play and making defensive stats consequential short of full hardcore.

i wont be supporting them either if they removed xp loss. makes gearing meaningless. people who complain about xp loss are likely the sort who'd use cheats in fps, coz dying isnt fun.
