What is up with the death penalty?

[Baler]

Over 5 yellow would be over a full level... You can't lose 5+ yellows in only 2 deaths. So either there is details missing from this story, those people miss calculated/judged how much exp they had before they died or you and or them are lieing.

The amount of exp you lose on death is based on the amount of exp it took to complete your last level. example: if you're level 36 and you die, then the amount of exp you lose is based on how much exp it took to level up 35(which is a hell level).

I'm sorry but it just does not add up. Not trying to be disrespectful but a death at 26 and 21 is peanuts compared to a death in the 50-60 range.
