Rejigger the "balance" code so that the world is almost never balanced, even if the "unbalance" is very slight.

Basically reduce the amount of time where Nexus has no RP motivation to hunt anyone (except Battle, which is always the case).

Agreed. I remember this really ruining my last Nexus experience.

I do think the thresholds for balance are above what they should be with player numbers being what they are. There were times I'd see a lone representative of a given align facing 4-5 opponents without cabal powers and gauge balance would tell me they were fine and not to worry about it.

And then you get some tell asking how come we aren't hunting that certain faction or even worse if you are working with that faction.
