' Wrote:No it's not. I see a lot of registers that have no RP whatsoever, furthermore the very few examples of on server issues given are not fixed by "I register my capship".
Also you seem to forget that the community is larger than a few faction leaders, it's a community of hundreds, hundreds that didn't join the faction but still RP on the server.
You need to think about the whole community and not just yourselves for a change.
Registered where? on the forums? we ask them to register their craft - write an RP background to it, that for itself is forcing them to RP.
As for the attack on faction leaders, what makes you think it's just a power struggle of faction leaders?
I can speak for at least 5 factions I'm in with more than 14 players in each, all are against the Capwhoring and all are for the cap ship registration, and to be honest, the faction leaders are the one taking the things faction members wanna do a notch down. So instead of attacking the faction leaders for being just a small bunch that have a problem with cap whoring, be glad they are between you and the factions, as if they weren't you would probably been KoS right away.
We, the "So evil and power mongering" Faction Leaders, each represent a smaller community withing the server, gathered together we represent the community itself.
Who do you represent? And what makes you think that most ppl on the server are not in a faction?
"You need to think about the whole community and not just yourselves for a change."
I think it should go the other way around, as you seem to be all for yourself on none for the community.
BTW, just a thought, what if you registered and wrote a background story, than another indie cap ship player would read it, get an idea and join you in your RP, and so on and so on, then all of you will be entangled with the RP of the faction as will the faction be part of your RP, thus creating a better RP experience for all of us? mm.. just a thought...
Edited: And here is another thought, what if someone that doesn't know how to RP a BS will read your story, he might get ideas, write a story of his own, create new RP for himself, start RPing on the server..
is it so far fetched?
And if by doing so we get even 1 or 2 indie capships ships to RP insted of being a PvP cap whores who shout "noob" and "lol" and "pwnt" in system chat and that is the most comunication you get from them if any, than it was all worth it..
