Nomads?

[Treewyrm]

Exactly, your character will help friends in danger, much like we do to our player characters and our NPCs. It is the reason why I'm keep saying that if players want to have communication they need to find better approach than simply flying into the heart of the battle guns blazing and then questioning whether the Keepers roleplay. Its whether the character can find a good reason to contact Nomads, whether you can find point of interest to which they might reply to, that's the extension to the roleplay I put into the faction allowing to have encounters other than hostile, but I'm not dropping "guard" RP just to make some people around feel safe while they happily hunt nomads. No way! The Nomads aren't typical faction out there, primarily because it's the only alien faction whereas all others are humans (more or less but humans they are), so applying commonplace patterns doesn't work for them, otherwise they'll become just like humans. So I keep them alien as much as possible, even if that means the lack of regular conversations. I'm not concerned about the "lack of roleplay", because for a fact I know when and who has done roleplay conversations, who said what and all that information, regardless whether they were reported encounters here on forums or not, I'm rather concerned with mislabeling that has a tendency to occur around more and more often around mostly under the "I've been killed!". Well yes, what did they expect? A cake? People coming into Delta/Kappa and even further on the ships full nomad cargo and/or just some capital combat ship and expect what?

We are not here to bring to their expectations, not here to cater to wishes. We did that earlier and it has been abused, to such degree I was considering shutting it all down. To better or worse I choose to stay, to harden the faction, and take offensive this time. I kept being very reasonable for very long time, listening to everything everyone said, and it has been abused on many occasions. Community players are providing feedback and continue shaping the faction based on their actual in-game actions, not their mere wishful thinking. One cannot expect from the hostile faction certain neutral reaction while doing everything in game to make sure those expectations are never met. You, dear members, have shaped it into what you see it is, more abuse towards us - more aggression in our actions, more hunting. We are the mirror, reflecting your actions in our behavior.

And when someone comes shouting "PvP whores" but making no point of attempting to establish any way other than the hostile to deal with the faction. In your actions you are turning it into that, you force it to be whereas I'm holding it back. Think about it, perhaps some have went too far in their wishful thinking... Perhaps it's time to look upon what your character(s) have done towards the Nomads, what your character(s) allies, guildmates, faction compatriots did. Because you are also partially carrying responsibility of their actions as well. And may be it's time to think what did you do wrong and why have you earned yourself the status you bear, and then to think what options you might have. After that may be you'll come to some conclusions and get a glimpse on the way the faction actually works. Answers are all around us, in stories, in actions, in yourself as well.
