Of course this is idealistic, its a fantasy discussion. Now if stop trying to gore the matador maybe we can actually have that discussion. The balance wouldn't be created through the item alone, it would also be dependent on the user, which is why admin intervention would be key to it.
And again I say, as it stands there are a minimum of three server factions all with fanatically powerful weapons that destroy your perceived balance. Its the same principle of the Terrorist ID, you only get it if you can justify having it. But you seem to be more worried about the change of focus by Discovery's demographic rather than the impact of the item, something I can sympathise with. I just don't think its cause enough to dismiss an intellectual debate.
