Mechanics within games should ultimately fun; you play games to have fun right? If they're not fun, then it's not really a game is it? For factions that have or don't need support, grinding activity is just second nature and comes easily. For others, it's a monotonous task that takes precedence over being able to enjoy their experience.

You can enjoy experience while being unofficial. People take being official faction too seriously.

Minus is that only official faction's roleplay is usually taken seriously by other factions when it comes to diplomacy and so.

That's a problem of people perception then. Fix yourselves first then.

Better to fix the rest of the community and the Staff. If it was that simple, why do we have an officialdom process at all? Unofficial factions don't contribute to the story, and can't help further the development of their NPC faction.

That's what I've taken away from this statement. You're complaining because you're having a hard time meeting activity requirements in a quarterly system, because in three months you could not find something to do with yourself or in-game.

Come on, dude.
