He's only happy to do it because he gets ALL the benefits.
The recruit-a-friend gives you both 3x exp (btw), not 2x, and this only occurs when you are both together in a party and only lasts for 3 months. Which means if he does recruit you, you better hope he's willing to play with you from 1-60, or else you just got ripped off. That's the only benefit both you share. He fails to mention that he gets a free month and an exclusive in-game mount (1 per person he recruits).
You also don't need the resurrection scroll to get an account back, and I'm sure anyone who has a frozen account knows this, so again, only benefit goes to him.
He just wants people to give him a bunch of free stuff.
