It's silly that you can sacrifice (multiple!) items in a blink of an eye, as if it wasn't any kind of ritual at all. I'd say one round of lag per sacrifice would make sense, whilst maybe giving a bit of pause for the griefers as well and at least make them a bit vulnerable to others while they are at it (not to mention lose time themselves, too).

That said, everyone should remember that having one or two or six nice items looted after dying is nothing to get upset about.
