Then I don't know what to say about your post either. Show me a faction where activity can be done without members ? For example the USI had no leader for almost a month. Yet they still managed to keep their activity up because they love their faction. Of course recently they did the necessary stuff to put a new leadership in place.

But my point stands. A faction with no leader can keep going. A faction without members will not go anywhere.

I kind of strongly disagree with that. We've seen over and over factions that simply die down because the leadership just doesn't inspire the membership to log on. Nothing happens, the faction stagnates, and the membership really doesn't want to just constantly sit there with no progression. The leadership is not just there to "look cool" or order people around. It's there to actually give people activities ingame that go beyond the simple "log on, shoot enemy, log off".

We've seen new factions that can pull members out of thin air through just the activity of the leadership. I think [KPT] is an extremely strong example of that, for the short time that it existed. It's not particularly hard, a faction needs to have a strong and active leader - or failing that a strong and active high command that can replace its "losses". Otherwise it ends up like a couple of factions that will not be named where nothing really gets done ever, and they remain constantly below the median of activity on the activity chart, never really elevating themselves above it. A faction like that "exists", but it only hogs the official faction slot.

Hence the question of how exactly is the leadership of the faction that Zelot runs (who has way too much on his hands right now no matter how anyone puts it) is going to look like.
