Recent reports was about WAZIRX asset.

I think it's good idea to implement different creation fee for top-level assets. Say, GATEWAY assets costs high fee, while further assets in same namespace (GATEWAY.XXX) costs much less. So, each new scamcoin requires high fee and scammer can't reuse it's namespace, while legit gateway may have lots of assets cheap.

Sounds like a good idea. It is a bit difficult to update current code to implement this idea though.
