In the old days dying was a pain but it wasn't as hellish as it is now, there was always a poker, a clan repairer or trusted server repairer / clan of traders to use, plenty of people to grind with for leveling or making money. Now... pokers are hard to come by, repairs worse, grinding to level is HELL, it was always bad but now the small number of level zones that work (so basically regents) are camped by gankers most of the time and unusable without a ppu anyway so again the low pop means you often can't do anything.
All this combines to make death WAY more annoying than it should be, you can die then not be able to play for days while waiting for a repairer or poker to appear, the only solution people have found is 2 accounts so they can have a ppu ready to rezz at all times but even that requires you to grind AGAIN which was always the worst part of the game and now is just at hellish hellish levels.
I'd suggest either making it so you don't lose implants and nothing breaking OR make machines we can use to do it ourselves for money. I know the traders will complain but honestly I'm getting so tired of 1 death meaning I need to just log off then check back every few days, most of the time which means I wont play for weeks or months as you not only need to hope you find traders you can trust you need to find people to fight which is very hard to do, especially ones that don't just ppu buff themselves with the ppu they use to rezz themselves.
