I'm not sure where the perception that mob grinding is new comes from; resources are always going to be needed and grinding out mobs is a necessary way to get those resources. I remember seeing stockpiles of thousands of resources in E3 for alchemists, and I say this as someone who made a dedicated alchemist character who did nothing but farm and brew.
The idea that mob farming is a product of the new exp system is really silly and needs to be dropped. Resources are a necessary part of the game. I remember farming for creating hundreds of perms on E3, people still need to do so now. The only difference is sometimes a check will pop as you farm now, s opposed to people spamming white text randomly during mob farming.

I'd like to suggest some.. less grimy alternatives for Necromancers to gain Undeath without having to kill a player and harvest their corpse.
The issue seems to be that people are losing characters to death instead of what could've been a more creative alternative due to the fact that a Necromancer essentially has to kill the person to receive their mechanical boons. It is the way of the world, but perhaps in some cases maybe we can introduce more creative alternatives that could be utilized to gain Undeath without dampening other player's motivations too much.
Perhaps a ritual of sorts which could be incited that gives less essence than harvesting a corpse, but more than a measly one (1) from rolling a grievous injury. I'd be open to discussing several alternative options if this is something that may be taken into consideration. I'm all for a good killing, but for the sake of keeping people around/motivated I think it'd be beneficial to the general atmosphere to discuss less grimy mechanical options so that everyone can enjoy a little antagonism.

Isn't that why you can harvest Undeath from your minions?
