I doubt your hint will do anything to change that habit if he's still doing it at level 51. I agree. There are players who consider rep points just something else to accumulate in a game. They go through visiting, charging and gifting but really don't care to help or notice what they might get back. So it is your sense of helping that should motivate you. If you would send a yearly donation to a charity because you know that they need it even though the only thing you get back is a form letter... keep you friend. At least it's not a zombie.

I had a good machine-provided friend who always had a yellow rose on his request list. When I found out that MT allowed me to send a rose without taking it out of my inventory I sent one every day hoping he would send one back. Never happened. MY is no longer so generous and my friend has gone zombie anyway. It is just hard to get a message out with limited communication options.
