Hehe, thanks for the compliment Iwku, and it takes more than you disagreeing with my assumption about tps to get my feathers ruffled. You werent exactly what I meant as active since I might see you once a week if im lucky. I was refering to players such as myself, Rynock, Knecht, Armand and the host of other people with less than 4 remorts under their belt. You do make your point though that TPs are obtainable with some work, so that point is well taken.
After reading your post and thinking about it for awhile I have a suggestion and a comment.
100 TPs sounds like a lot, but that wouldnt be enough to restore your golem 5 times. Hell, until I figure out a better spot it would prolly take me 2 weeks or better to get 100. But as a rookie in the field, that could be me just sucking as someone else could make 100 in 10 minutes, who knows ill figure it out eventually =).
If a system is put in place that gives some protection against crashes, or other non player flault, perhaps to take away some of the perk of being able to restore there is some negatives applied with it such as taking 50% TNL of the golems XP, or have the loss increase as the restores increase, for example on your 5th restore it could lose 100% TNL, or any T4 golem lose this much. This would prevent any t4 golem restores, but not make it impossible to get back.
You could also have the golems string start to indicate that its in poor shape from being reconstructed.
Hell, there are a lot of negatives you could put in place which would make the good still good, but not quiet as appealing. Ill list a few that just came to mind, keep in mind these could be serious and done at different intervals of golem replacements:
Loss of innate sanc.
Loss of some other abilities.
Double cost of TPs
3rd+ recover comes with a 10% chance for total failure (some or all TPs still consumed)
Loss of Golem XP
Loss of a Level, or -100% XP TNL
There are always options available to help negate the pure bonus of being able to restore your golem, and like removing the innate sanc, things like that will help the golems die faster to and then be unrestorable.
