They should be SRP, or certain official faction perks/equipment, which they could provide to others if deemed acceptable.

Just another variation of the elitism that the video the other day was talking about. You have a handful of in crowd players controlling who gets the cool toys, and the new players look at the server, and, after a week, say, "F! this, I'm gone!"

Then, Disco is all about big fish in the mud puddle because you're all by yourself.

dont be stupid please.

New players will see shiny things and spire to have them, they will work at their characters, develop more as a player in the community as they are forced to actually interact with it, learn more about how the server and community are tied together, and eventually they will get something nice out of it.

theres nothing elite about it, work hard get result.

Appeal to possibility

You are proving the point I am trying to make by condescending to the new players that dangling baubles in front of them will encourage them. The fact that they will have to suck up to other players to get them, and the fact that the players in question won't be Obligated to provide them, will create a defacto case of haves/have-nots; elitism by definition.

Lest you next try to derail my argument by ignoring the content, I am not talking about SRPs, but rather factions having exclusive distribution rights to technology that would otherwise be generally available. Personally, I think that SRPs would be a good method except for the fact that it again devalues the players by not having an avenue for them to develop the technology for general use.

Everything else in the game that is not lore bound to a specific faction is available without requiring one player to go to another player to beg for it. You buy it. Anything that puts one player in total control of another player's ability to experience an aspect of Disco is the kind of elitism that I am referring to.

Finally, being an ass is still being an ass with Strike Out, especially when anyone with BBCode experience knows you have to do it intentionally. Starting your argument with the insult just makes you look trollish.
