Would it be possible to either have a script or an in-game feature that didn't take a fight off the buffs if there is no benefit to be had?
Example, kudos buff when target has 1 kudos or energy buff when target has no energy.
A script would probably not be very fair thinking about it as it would be automated in a way that wouldn't really be seen as something done yourself.
If this has been covered before I'll take the wrist slap, I did search but nothing stood out so I don't believe it's been covered before but I may be wrong.
