It's not about who did what, when and where or who should be able to do what inRP when and where or even why. It's about game-balance. And no disadvantage counters the ability to permanently stay cloaked.
Nomads need in terms of balance to be treatened like every other faction and not in some magical special way. That means they get to use the same equipment under the same restrictions as everyone, just with their own looks. Or we give every faction their very own, unique gear which will be a nightmare to balance at all.
