       Arguably, having no effect on players draining other players may be reasonable

Interesting.

If a player killing another player had no negative impact on the dead
character, then when you get in trouble, have someone else kill you before
the monster does.

No, there needs to be a penalty for all forms of death.

But you're talking about draining, not killing.  That's really a separate
issue, isn't it?

As to killing, how about splitting the experience loss between the
character killed and the character doing the killing?  If you lost
experience for killing other players, it would be even less of a problem.
