This game is not like others, especially at the point its at now. Theres no "well crap, lost my stuff, lets go beat on easy mobs till I can get xxx amount of money or loot to replace"
There is basically nothing to do but craft, if you die upon entering the world and lose your tools then you now have exactly 0% worth in the game world. No ones going to trade for nothing. and theres no way to find the tools other than another player corpse.
The best way to handle it would be to make all the crappy starter gear no drop, of course for that to work great you will need the items to deteriorate like they are supposed to. Safe zones for noobs are stupid. It's been said before, no matter how large the safe zone is, gankers will just wait right outside it for kills. Let them gank as soon as people drop in the world if they want, as long as you keep crappy starter items.
And ya, if you read my other posts this might seem a little hypocritical, I am usually all for the harsher game enviroment. But taking away a chars ability to do 90% of available tasks in the first 3 seconds of life is a little over the edge.
