What do you mean Spaz? Should factions design/plan/propose events with indies in mind? I'm all up for it, I've designed one myself too. Or should factions execute such events as well or do nothing at all? Well, in that regard we got quite limited options compared to the event system. Like, all we got is the good old events section, staff handles both the event plugins and commodity buffs, anything with those we can request only.
And how is it not hypocrisy to say official factions shouldn't participate in admin-made events, yet their job is to let all players of their NPC faction join in when they make an event?
Besides, I know at least one good example justifying why indies should be excluded. You know, it's just so easy to grief people if you can't be tracked that well.
