We've had a few tunes to the ress/rais/body system based on how much exp is
given to the casting tarm in question. The last one I feel was more of a knee
jerk reaction to a freak event, but that's just me. However, I am concerned
with one aspect of abusing the system and that's due to suiciders. I seem to
recall roulette being changed for a similar reason. It's a bit ridiculous
that a suiciding player can reinc player flag, get their exp back fairly
quickly, and just die repeatedly so they can "give" all their exp to a tarm
friend. And yes this happened. :P How about seeing instead of a tune that
drops tarm %'s totally, but one that just prevents abuse. It would be nice to
see a staggered affect on ress/body amounts based on how often the target
accepts, perhaps halthe % they would have gotten normally based on the last
ress if the same player accepts within an hour or so? Not sure if this is
feasible, but the abuse feature, while unusual, is still there.

well that solution only makes it take longer to transfer exp to the
friend, and is not a solution to the "problem" (and I say problem because
it really isnt one) in the first place.

you have to remember, you cant make rais/ressing too shitty, even if its
only for reincers, or based off a time-thingie like you said; mostly because
being a tarm in this game isnt fun. the majority of the people who reinc
tarm is simply for the exp

so if you keep slaping crazy ass tunes on ress/rais exp, who the fuck is
gonna reinc to the most boring guild in the game? nobody. having 1 or 3
people a year suicide-transfer exp a year isnt a problem and tarms shouldnt
pay for it
