I've argued (unsuccessfully) in the past, that failing a botcheck should cost augments. I even went so far as to describe what the process should be like. E.g. a player fails a botcheck, they are recalled, and the process of augmenting takes place, the player receives all sun stones that they would be over with their decreased augment and all platinum back from pools trained over their "new" cap. So, in reality, all the botter has lost is time. The normal rules for failing a botcheck would still be in effect stat loss and etc.
I've never failed a botcheck so I don't know the specifics of what happens for failing one. Perhaps the person could lose all experience and gold in addition to the normal affects?
