Here's what I see. Lots of people bitching about imperial and rager gangbanging. If the imms saw such a huge problem in it, they would change it. They try to keep the game balaced as much as they can with the control they have. Case in point. Masters and mages in general a year ago were kicking ass with sanc and healing wands. The imms took away the wands and things evenned out somewhat. Before that, when masters could kill anyone they wanted, the imms made the non-agression policy to keep the pure pkers in check. Ragers now are able to do things people disagree with. If the trend continues and ragers start becoming too powerful, the imms WILL change something. Imperial gangbangs are here to stay, however. Its part of what they do. Not all do, but its something within their powers to do if they choose. The imms have proven they try to keep the game balanced. But this happens over a length of time. You can't change something the first, second, or even third time you see something being done. Over time, things change, and while there will never be a true balance to the game, the imms try to keep it as close as possible, and they should be commended for it, even if it means they make it harder to kill.
