Keeper opens

That loophole has been badly abused by everyone that would be at a Keeper's attention. There have been steps to correct this, i.e. if you're seen a danger and confronted by a Keeper, you will be asked to sac the item in front of the Keeper, or give the item to the Keeper. Doesn't solve all problems, but it helps some.

The "easiest" solution (for the cabal) is to have the issue hardcoded so that inventory items are checked as well. I think this has become less necessary with the change from Danger status now reflecting the level of the rares because no one worth their salt is going to walk around with an unequipped stetson just to dodge Keepers. (Winter gear will get you attention wayyyyy before a white gold bracelet)

Anti-rare isn't the strongest driving force behind Keepers either, it's just the one eveyone pays the most attention too because it affects them directly the most. The dominance amongst cabals (Keeper's 1st priority) is moreso determined by the lethality of the cabal (rating) than cabal numbers or dedicated log time (adds to it, but not the determinant). The month before all the Legions were kicked out they were mostly unseen as compared to Knights and active Justice, and only 5 in number yet were the dominating cabal. Once Legion was ejected the direction turned to Justice, now it's on Knights.

People don't seem to pay attention to that since it seems most that complain about Keepers aren't caballed. But a Keeper's most welcome once that hurting side gets their help, i.e. Legion this time. I would say all sides except maybe Justice have gotten balanced assistance from the Keepers outside of ranking.

I do agree with the idea of exposing the Danger flag to those with high ratings, but that would eventually danger flag people who don't even use many rares, and that's not the point behind Keeper. If you are strong in and of yourself (let's say you're owning everyone in mithril armor or low/non-rare set), you won't be bothered because your skill alone is giving you victory. Keepers address hoarders (2nd priority) whether they fight all the time or not because that's necessary, if you defeat a Keeper in your rares, you deserve to hold them a little while longer, if not, you don't.
