Arbs are the ones that get shafted? Since when? Each and every time an actual war has broken out between Arbs and Ragers, it's ended because ragers lose their leader (hmm, look at that, Tarakh deleted) and the next one chosen in the Rites comes in and decides to fix the problem and makes up with the Arbs. In the meantime, rager lowbies get smacked around by hero-level guards because rager heroes quit and arbs go get the head and flag rager lowbies and it's a big mess. Who's to blame for the imbalances that occur in membership? Anyone who plays more than one caballed character. "Hrm, I don't agree with what Tarakh did in declaring war on the Arbs...guess I'll play my sylvan/scarab/empire/whatever." Doesn't have to be "the enemy" cabal, it simply happens. Really, we're talking anyone who plays more than one char. "I'll just level up my lowbie and see about getting them into Dawn in the meantime until the war blows over." You can tell me you don't do it, but I won't believe you if you tell me you never have.
