How would the cabal/gangbang/character switching/slow pendulum issues be affected if cabal items reappeared in their cabals after reboots? This hasn't been mentioned at all, but I think it's the single largest contributor to the slow, slow swing of the pendulum, because one cabal can take a bunch of items, and keep them, and keep them, and keep them. Previously, a reboot would level the playing field, and people could log on characters outside the dominant cabal without being crushed. I dunno. What do you think?
