    Default Make LE players do less damge

    another proposed fix for le players hunting, especially in mc5. since an le'd player obviously doesn't want to participate in pvp and a capped player couldn't care less for the xp penalty and probably not much for the money penalty either, another way to tackle the problem could be the following:

    1. reinstate full xp + money gain for le'd players,
    2. le'd players do X% less damage. a value ranging from 25 to 50 is thinkable.

    xp and money gain will be reduced due to reduced kill speed. farming is highly discouraged as well, because it takes so much longer to kill a mob with reduced damage. you still have all the le'd benefits but now the downside of the le also affects capped players in a major way to the point where many will just pull it out. the lost time should equalize non-le'd players time lost due to fighting, getting back on his feet and to the farming grounds after a death.

    this change sadly doesn't fix the griefing possibilities of the le.

    ofc we would need too look into team compositions as well, so that le'd players can't just leech xp from non-le'd players that do more damage. the xp calculation needs to take that into account somehow, if it doesn't already. maybe the damage reduction could be achieved by capping %dmg on weapons at 1/2 or 2/3 for le'd players? i suppose that would probably reduce the combat rank and thus the xp gain in teams as well?
