"Despite my higher than average IQ, top notch education, and series of brain altering surgeries, I still cannot figure out why people don't like exclusive factions."
I think a lot of people do not have any problem with some factions being exclusive if their find their place in discovery freelancer. But then some factions are treated diffrently ruleswise, just becouse they are exclusive or made up.. well doesn't really give a fair feeling of equel treatment.
And thats why some people rise up a couple of points about ID's and that action should be taken.
I can understand that some factions gets really defensive then it comes to their stuff. For example, SCRA. Because such requiriment really hurts their pride. To the point that they are not worthy of trust. Anyway, it's not about who is more trustable and who is not. It's about giving everyone an basis to be treated according the rules same way as anyone else are.
