Even I as a FORMER IMG| know the guild is somewhat over-powered due to the massive bonuses and their current diplomacy. In the omegas the only real threat they face is the Corsairs, everyone else seems to leave em lone,The Houses, especially Rheinland are somewhat powerless to curb their activities because they are afraid the Devs will go 'You can't be mean to IMG, therefore we're gonna nerf your corporations even more and make things unpleasant for your house!"
I know alot of people who actually hate IMG, like REAL hate and wish they would simply die off, I personally don't hate them since I've actually PLAYED the faction, but I do agree that some measure of balance MUST be restored because I see fewer and fewer people play corporations and more going either IMG| or indy IMG.
