It wasn't really about factions, just lately everything seems to get hijacked into a debate about factions. But, tiepo, you speak sensibly and reasonably. Expect to get misquoted and lambasted for referring to factions as elites. People won't like that. Not democratic enough. Though I'm kind of flattered by it, and I am a lowly drone within the QCO, who lacks imagination and free will.

Quote:How, exactly is the list "clarifying RP" by allowing exceptions for factions that will be difficult if not impossible for indies to get?
It might help new players pre-empt problems and avoid repeating the mistakes that many, myself included, have made in the past. PLUS it might generate debate about something more positively than another faction-bashing thread.
It might help, for example, the Rheinland police chap in the ravens claw loaded out with nomad weapons who attacked me without uttering a word to move towards being a RPer of a quality far different to that of the mindless twerp he is now perceived to be by me.
edit... I meant to point out that in my time on the server I have never experienced exceptionally oorp behaviour from factions. Sure they did things to annoy me, but always well within the bounds of what I would expect. In a game. And Im sure those of you who have actually been in game more than the forums would note that the people who genuinely need to be pointed in the right direction vis a vis what is expected in a RP server are hardly the factions.
