It's not going to be like a hardcore MMO. Since it's a first person shooter people are going to be dieing a lot so yeah your right, nobody would do anything if there was a fear of losing gear and exp. when you died lol.
I believe what the devs have said so far about death is that you simply respawn (in about 4-5 seconds from what the videos have shown), and in an interview I read that you'll get a small armor penalty. So basically what I got from it is, when you die your armor gets some wear and tear, and I'm assuming if you die enough you'll have to go repair it and then get back into the fight (unless of course you wanted to fight with no armor lol).
I think this game will be focused more on intense and fun FPS action, while still having some RPG elements like crafting and trading. (though I don't know if crafting items has been confirmed yet)
