Accuracy is fine, but more dmg is always good(2x dmg for 2x reloading time would be nice).
By the way, there is an accuracy cap(150wpf max for Crossbow for example)

fell the difference 
Bullshit pictures.
Even though it feels "wide", it goes in the exact center nearly everytime. The only interesting thing Arbalest has over the normal Xbow, is the better accuracy (always good to have) and missile speed (easier to predict distance, since less curve, and hit the target faster). And it's really a big difference.
The damage is fine, but it's true that the "light armored" tarets usually carry "decent gloves", like the +3 mail gauntlets wich do give +9 armor, the difference between being one shotted or not. Also, people are smarter and don't tend to walk INTO the bolt, so no bonus for speed. The majority of xbow shots are on stationnary targets (other range, people stopping moving for strange reason, etc) or people walking sideways or backwards.
Do a test with your mw Arbalest with mw steel bolts vs a "real" light armored 15/24 guy, and even if he's not moving, you'll one shot him nearly every times.
The only "recent" nerf affecting xbows i can think off is the "less body dmg / more hs damage", but that's the same for all range, and it didn't prevent one shooting. Since it's also pretty old (5 weeks or so ?)
