Don't lose xp, but you have to pay to repair the 10% equipment damage you take from dying at NPC hands.
Depends what lvl you are, but 10-20 gold every death is not something you want to have to deal with.

10+ gold is not hard to farm no, but you do need to really farm it, it's not like what I go doin and farm 2 or 3 gold in an hour (which is technically a decent amount for my level), and let the quest grinding add up also.
eh it isnt 10gold a death... at the 'level' of gear those guys are at even a full degrade won't be ten. Possibly 7 for the plate wearers, 5 or so for mail and less than that for cloth.
Armor degredation isn't that big of a deal... Money does have to be farmed. There is no sniper ring to craft that will make you rich infinitely. In fact the best way to make money (one of them) is simply to farm crafting materials and load up the AH with them.
The way it works is like this you have lets say a helmet. It has 100% durability. If you die it becomes 90%. 80%. so on. When your helmet reaches 0% durability it 'breaks' and you no longer get the bonus its as if you were not wearing a helmet. (This is not perma-broke, just until you go to an NPC to repair it.) If you repair often, your gear shouldn't ever go below 40% dura and the price tag isnt very high. If all your stuff is broken, (at the end of a long dungeon after numerous deaths) then its going to be expensive, and also based on the quality of gear you wear. If you wear mostly 'green' quality its cheaper than repairing the rarer 'blue' quality. The real expensive repairs come from 'purple' (very rare overpowered items). But you don't see people decked in mostly purple till they've been 60 for a while and are doing MC and Onyxia regularly... I only had one purple myself ; ; (but it was a cape and capes dont have durability
) Plate costs more than mail costs more than cloth in repairs as well.
Its basically a limiter for big dungeons. You have 10 deaths to beat the dungeon or you are naked.
You can go back to town to repair at any time, but the respawn in dungeons is generally 20 minutes, so it is not usually possible unless you want to start it over (or have a warlock but thats a lot of info i dont feel like explaining.)
