Then the problem is with K'hara and everyone and their mother is aware the current left-overs of what K'hara once was is a joke that only logs when it's beneficial for a battle. "Oh boy, we finally have a reason to log the Marduks." And then it's just for PvP anyway.
K'hara needs regulations and someone that does that with strong hand, but the right way. The latest attempt was just another joke and given the demand was made to have at least one forum-based RP per month, what happened was literally nothing within K'hara. So, yeah, take the fun stuff away from K'hara and give it back to them once they have earned it. The nice perks one can achieve with Officialdom and SRP are to be used within reason and with a certain responsibility, and that is currently not given.
As for the encounter thing, I don't see anything wrong with being able to not get forced into interacting with certain individuals. It's a game, not a job, I mean, we all get the initial idea behind the thought. Nobody should log to just be not available to interact. Yeah, but then there is the other side that uses this argument to force people into stuff that they are already predestinated to win.
Finding a compromise is better than removing stuff like an extremist.
