Occasional raids are actually cool, but factions are good if they can sustain their presence. Like you can log in and be sure there can be some of LN\LPI\LSF flying around NY so you don't bother to think about logging or not, will you find some players to play with or not. This simply makes people log w\o a doubt if they wanna have some fun. But if there are no one around 90% of time people just don't consider this faction as possible activity source from them and go other places\games.
