So, I see your points and agree with some of them...however:

In terms of RP, you get out of it what you put into it. This doesn't mean you have to feign ignorance of everything you've learned as a player, but each character interaction with a cabal leader should have a different twist based on your role. For those who are playing their 40th "mages burned my village, now give me my bloodthirst" Rager or 50th "forced into the wilds, now give me my chamo" Outlander, I can see how it would get old, though.


Really, there is 1 kind of rager - the type that hates mages, sure you can "vary" how you get there, but that is the gist.

The flipside of the stale RP is this. Generally speaking, hero's want to PK. Leaders are often busy with what limited time they play also, and they are there to have fun. Sure, they have the RESPONSIBILITY of inducting/RP which some of them do prioritize, but mostly they prioritize their own fun over that of their apps (who wouldn't and who could blame them)

How about a voting system? Similar to nexus/thief votes? Wherin if you have more positive votes by current cabal members than negative you 'win' and get the induct after an allotted time? I don't know how well these votes act in practice...but we seem to generally have a rhyme/meter and thief GM's...

Leaders would retain benefits of being leaders, and could maybe still handle disciplinary things. as I mentioned before, or maybe they don't. Maybe they act through immortals on discipline and are there to observe/report/inform..

At the end of the day, there has to be some way to simplify the over-complicated and arduous process of getting into a cabal and enjoying cabalwars. That is a hurdle that 100% should be made a 'speed bump' in my opinion.
