risk vs rewards on quest and death penalty

hello everyone,
most mmo's usually do a standard quest where there is no risk
i want a quest that have risk vs reward
for example: quest ( F ) quest ( A ) quest ( S ) quest ( SSS+ ) etc.
if you complete a quest - u get a reward + 20 stamina
if you fail a quest - level loss by 1

and the death penalty - is example 36 percent of loss leveling point

makes the game more immersive
what do you guys think ?

i get my inspiration by reading a mmo novel called overgeared

    I would recommend the following pages on the Wiki:

    https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Item_sinks

    Risk Vs Reward is a core value of AoC.

    The issue with MMO's in books (or in shows) is that the things they suggest don't need to make for good games. The mechanics they suggest need to make for good stories, not for good games.

    This is a discussion we have had on this forum before.

    I watched both "Sword Art Online" and "Shield Hero". Which is like saying I watched the "Flintstones" and the "Jetsons". Anyway, In both shows were a awful representation of MMOs. The best representation of a MMO I have seen is "Record of Lodoss War", which is not about a MMO at all.
