No. The alignment penalty is already capped: it's double the alignment reward, which is capped at 50. But it is a necessary penalty to discourage players from abusing these quests by working together and splitting the rewards. Goodness knows people are quick to look for ways to exploit anything they can, and this is no exception. True, it was not a decision made by thinking about what 'makes sense'. But it's something I consider far more more important: something which must be in place if these quests are to be anything more than the quick go-to exploit for two players to gain lots of alignment and coins.
