Lowering the prices in stims may relieve some of what Berry is talking about but the only real deterrent to the constant attacks has recently been removed. People are getting attacked by players they stand no chance of defeating and being attacked repeatedly. Mind you im not complaining or whining about the attacks but for example abysmalpoptart recently went on an attacking spree attacking a member of my gang 31 times in a 3 day period.
Did the gang member whine about it no...but they did send poptart a lighthearted mail and they apparently had a decent conversation afterwards.
The level difference is approximately 7 levels and my gang member said they did approximately 300 damage per attack( not taking into account what poptart resisted). Is that a challenge to him? I say no. but he was encouraged by the exp system to continue the attacks as he got 300+ exp for winning. I dont see any reason for a player to gain an exuberant amount of exp for fighting fights they don't even have to worry about ever losing.

IMO a change in the exp awards system as well as a lowering in the price of stims may need to be looked at. and the change may not even need to be anything more than a declining scale for repeated attacks. I always looked at exp awards for fights as an indication of what you learned from that fight. If you are winning without even a minor threat what are you really learning?
