Official Faction Activity Fourth Quarter 2019

[NixOlympica]

Not to throw a spanner in the gears of pertinent discussion here, but:

I am tired of all the super-special rebel/split groups and new microhouses. At least with OFs there is some level of control over the complete Mary Sue and nonsensical RP some groups try pull.

These are almost exclusively those official factions you're vehemently defending. OFs that pop up to represent an extant NPC faction are becoming rarer and rarer by the year.

I think that's due to the fact some factions have been forced to irrelevance by the combination of low(er) player base, (lack of) story development and widening ZOIs.

I mean I am not overly happy with the current system, I think OFs should play a more prominent role but that goes against the major trend of liberalising everything in Disco (which everyone seems to support).

I, personally, simply don't have the time to follow all the Disco drama to know RP of every single group that pops up, splinters and then dies. Official Factions give me the option to get myself acquainted with their RP and expect some stability.
