As I said, if you're worried about the economy, you'd suggest faster item decay. Your 5-minute grave timer only works if you die while solo and it happens more than 5 minutes from your totem. While it will obviously happen at times, that's still filled with
ifs. Faster overall decay accomplishes exactly what you want in a much more efficient manner.
- Random drops suck. A great win might give you 2 sand, 2 nails, 1 screw, a crappy glove, and a pair of Zonkers. That uber axe sure would have been nice...
- Exploiting fast travel with random drops is not hard; just potentially more time consuming. You do it with more than 1 person. If you drop something good, have your alt or friend pick it up. Some people would just roll the dice if solo, anyway, and succeed.
- 1-hour timer gives people a choice to make a corpse run. This is especially good for people who are low on equipment.
