As another player, personally, I would have a problem with characters suddenly developing strange effects just from being in Luceti. Especially considering some effects of kidnappings aren't just "wacky" things like a change in personality or a reduction in age, but things such as physical injury as a result of being experimented on. Yes, characters living in fear of being kidnapped at any time is awful, but living in fear that any time they get sick they might end up mutilated or changed in some way seems much worse.

One of my favorite things about Luceti has always the fact that characters get kidnapped on top of already being kidnapped, and kidnappings allow for characters to essentially have "mini-plots" anytime they want without having to wait for a game-wide event. With all the ways Luceti has been changing since I joined, seeing that taken away would be a real disappointment.
