I figure that no rep limits abuse. If there's no reward, why bother, if you aren't wanting to be generous. It only really applies to the folks that have thousands and thousands of rep, and more, but the fact that a person can gain a couple hundred points or gain a buddy seems fair. I think that it makes people limit themselves, because the generous aren't rich, and the rich aren't generous.
