BGs - No Death Penalty

Is anyone else in favor of allowing deaths in BGs if all pvp rewards & gear is removed (with the exception of the trinket possibly)?

I’ve yet to hear a good argument against this and believe it’s a bit shortsighted to rule this out and just say, “because it’s HC”.

The game still needs some base level activities other than farming & dungeons for people who cap, otherwise there’s not much incentive for a majority of players to continue playing characters for long once capped.
