Myeah , actually Rodnas is right.
The vast majority of the indies do their best to fit in the established RP , and don't need to be official because they function perfectly as a indie.
At the other hand there's faction players who act like asshats and give official factions a bad name.
The difference is , official faction players can be corrected if they show bad behaviour.
Indies don't have any responsibility's as Rodnas mentioned , that's why I think official factions should get more tools to deal with those cases.
