You're making a claim and then can't provide concrete proof. Oh dear, if only science would work that way. But sadly, it doesn't.

The issue with this entire chain of comments is that it's a common tactic by the pro-xp loss crowd to derail a conversation into theory crafting build improvements and away from the principle that people don't like losing progress that they've earned in prior maps.

It's not theory crafting. It's simple math. 5 or 10 additional points out of 100 CANNOT provide significant improvements when the game calculates (almost) everything based on additive stacking. You simply run into massive diminishing returns, IF there are even any nodes worth taking. For many builds, there simply isn't anything good in reach at this point. Of course, all of this operates on the logical assumption that the most efficient nodes are taken first and left to the theoretical last 5 points. (Duh!)

You have no point. Reality disagrees with you.

Save your energy. People arguing in bad faith will constantly demand concrete proof or evidence from you, while making all their points in the abstract. If you give a concrete example, they will pick it apart into the tiniest pieces to find the one situation it is not valid in; and if you give an abstract example, they will simply circle back to demanding concrete examples, or claim that not providing that makes your argument dismissible.

They will simply ignore the fact that every point can have an impact on pathing and the notables or keystones you can reach; as shown by the fact that many PoB builds will do a respec at higher levels due to gaining more worth from optimized pathing available with more skill points. The issue is that this would no longer be "simple math," and especially not math supporting their point.

lol months later and we still whining about reasonable penality, rage quit alrdy ffs.

Seriously, no. Xp loss is fine. Just go and ask for an easy league with no death penality, then go and ask for difficulty nerfs then ask for better loot then ask for lowering the amount of xp needed or whatever make you feel better. 10% (more like 2,5%) xp loss on death penelity is perfectly fine for softcore.
