I love the game but 1 thing: losing exp when dying in maps

I'm a great fan of POE2

I have like 8 characters between 70 and 90 from earlier leagues, but eventually I always stop for the same reason.

I'm an experimenting guy. I don't care if I die, I just keep trying and trying.
But not in maps. Dying a few times and my experience is back to zero.
Rollbacks like that ruin the endgame for me.

It causes me not to be able to play the game how I like to play it, experimenting, daring.
When reaching maps I lose a certain feeling of freedom, a feeling of playing the game my way, how I like it.

I always stop until the next league after I spent hours for nothing due to a few map deaths. Removes all the fun for me.

Don't get me wrong, I love the grind. I love the game.
But if I wanted death to matter and be cautious and on my toes all the time, I would play hardcore.

I'm level 94, died plenty of times, still progressing more than losing. It isn't hard when one map is giving you 5-10%, an occasional death isn't going to kill you. After 95 it gets a little worse, but there's omens for that.

If xp really bothers you that much, don't experiment until after you level, then you won't lose anything when you die. Also remember, there is nothing special about level 100. Between 90 and 95 you're pretty much done, the amount of power you can gain from 1 skill point when you're that high is minimal for almost all builds.
