Certainly, it does involve us, but we're not responsible for the issues you've described. Do we take advantage of it, though? Absolutely.

We wouldn't be able to flip flop like we do if the factions didn't let us. But they do. The people we work for enable this, and so we're going to use it. We as a faction are good at hunting people. You want someone dead? We do it. They go into these agreements knowing full well that once the contract is up, if they're not still offering us a route to earn cash, they go right back on the potential targets list. They still choose to employ us.

I'm not saying the factions shouldn't enforce those consequences. Right now though, they don't. All I can really say is "don't hate the player, hate the game."

We're just playing the game the official factions allow us to play.

Oh, that's fine and I don't think I am hating on anyone here. I think my comments have be rather meek. It's seeking clarification of a problem with the Reavers that has been bothering me for awhile. I just cannot wrap my head around it. If it's the game mechanics and factions are actually partaking in it, fine. However, if it's being turned into a way to hunt factions without ways, other than hiring more protection, to protect themselves in order to have something to do, then I don't think it's right.

Also, that might be Reaver mentality but it certainly ain't Merc mentality. A Merc would base their future decisions on how good an employer has been to them, not on who is willing to pay them right now. If you work for faction A and kill faction B, and then switch because faction A isn't willing to pay anymore, that's fine. However, if faction B now decides not to pay you, why would faction A want you back? You stabbed them in the back and then shot at them for payment from their enemies.

A faction would have to be seriously ignorant to rehire you. Once the payment is up, you would just be back to hunting them. Surely they would seek a Mercenary company that is more loyal, loyalty pays in the long run.

I don't know, maybe you guys just know far more than I ever could, but something doesn't sit right with me over your diplomacy.

And also please note, I realise fully why factions hire you after hunting them. It's because you have some very, very good PVP pilots. So, in that aspect it makes sense. However, RP wise, to me, it just doesn't.
