XP loss in Vaal temple DURING THE CAMPAIGN!

Is this a shadow feature or bug?

I'm a level 69 Druid that's still in the campaign and with the still horrid drops and GGG's insistence on keeping magic find etc. my character has relatively poor resistance and defenses (par for course in every version of this game, tbh).

This means my character keeps dying to the cheapest of one-shots from bosses like the Commander and Smith. I just only now noticed that each death keeps wiping the XP I gained from running back to the boss.

Was the starting level for your favorite XP loss mechanic lowered even further, GGG? If you keep insisting to keep it for "meaningful play", why not just let it start at level 1, eh? Maximize the "meaningfulness". Sheesh.

Going back the subject, this report is legit. The league mechanic is already very weak compared to the Abyss. You all are just giving players even more reason not to go into it.

And while we're in the topic, why didn't you all put in an editor for players to correct their placement mistakes in the Temple? At least allow overwriting rooms!
