General comment: much of what you want to see is dependent on staff presence, and, like the player base, staff with the ability to hand out rewards, police crappy role-play, etc. are in shorter supply than they once were. It's not that staff have deprioritized these things; there just aren't as many staff as there used to be.

I might disagree with "drastically", but I'm with you that things could be improved.

If you don't like Entropy & Scarab then just...don't play them? Or are you saying they make the game less enjoyable for you simply by existing, even if you're not playing one? For me, at least, I'm not sure "more cabal options" would really improve my experience.

Is there a hard 100 hour requirement for Maran? Honest question; I don't set rules like that, so it's a Korsgaard thing. If I had to guess, I'd wager that the hour requirement is somewhat negotiable if you 1. have a ton of EPKs and 2. rank up to level 40. But I can't speak for Kors.

I'm all for nerfing things that need to be nerfed. I haven't faced enough champions to say definitively they should be nerfed, but enough people are convinced they do that it's probably worth looking into.

>Furthermore, the ranking disparity between good and evil.

Ranking as a good is easier, but I'm not sure evils have it so bad. Certainly doesn't seem to throw people off playing evils.
