While a bit of what you say is true, your cure is like chopping the head off to get rid of a mole on the face. (Moles can be sexy anyway). Does the Empire encourage gangbanging? Yes. Now, the Empire powers have gotten so much greater? They haven't changed in ages I think... when did the sects get new powers? There is not an all or nothing mentality... the village, warders, imperials and masters were all about in a bit of force today, and there were some great battles. None had the obvious upper hand, although the damn village happened to strike when we were not ready, and kick our ass. The pendulum is always, always swinging. About a month ago I was getting my ass handed to me on a regular basis, as was the tower, and everyone else. The village and grove were simply dominant. Now, as soon as the Empire starts to rebuild, here come the usual gang of idiots saying how the Empire is a bunch of mindless idiots... that's the point man! Most in the Empire are cannon fodder, to be used and thrown away. I think the Empire plays quite an interesting role, and I've been in every cabal except Dawn.
