If death penalty went xtreme!

Losing armor durability and having to run from a graveyard to find your corpse is all part of the death penalty in wow. What would you do if wow decided to push the death penalty to the xtreme. What if, when you died, instead of going to a graveyard, you start at the beginning of the game, you lose all your levels, and all the gold you earned would be gone! What would you do and how would you feel?

(This is not a suggestion, but a what if thread. By no means do I ever want this to happen)

This would be less of a death penalty and more of a "hardcore", or "suicide" mode. Overall, this ends up being too frustrating for players. In Diablo II -- players who chose to engage in "hardcore" mode often just thought they'd see how far they'd make it, not realizing that they'd get attached to their characters.

Also, it's not very fun to die and lose your character to things like lag, a power outage, server-side issues, etc...
