Well, disco has been around long enough, so it is about time we fix those "holes" i mean in all honesty, just because it has always been that way doesn't mean you are not able to change things. Same for skype buddies- the sole advantage of factions dying and old players leaving is that old behavioral patterns and relations might break up....so there is a chance in that as well....
So....why not making a cooler, atmospheric and not brain hurting faction set up
