Its actually not that I die that often. But whenever someone other than a
caster dies in our group we are basically done for the evening while the
others recover their bodies and camp for the night. How come you always die
5 minutes before you want to go to bed and 40 minutes from your bind point
minimum on the night before a patch that might wipe out corpses all over?
Hence my song Loading, Please Wait which EQStratics actually published. I
was actually surprised.

EQ really is more a powergamer's game, and thus loss of
experience is a penalty, not a benefit as you seem to imply.
:-)

I'll repeat I don't understand either why the bind location
rules are different for casters and melee. All the arguments
I can come up with for not allowing melee to bind anywhere are
short circuited because casters can do the same thing by
binding anywhere. Maybe if casters came back at zero mana I
could understand...

I don't consider it that big a deal though. I dunno, maybe I
just don't die as often as you do.
