Nowadays people can easily make 500 million in a day and everyman and his dog has CAUVIII(s) (I know someone who has over 30 of the things).
As for OFs, it is so easy to remain Official. There are a few Factions that play the Warning/Off Warning ping pong Game.
Probably a very unpopular belief, of mine, is that the 3 day requirement, in a 3 month period, should be increased to remain Official. At the minute an OF only needs an average of 48 minutes per day, spread over a 3 month period. An OF should have a minimum of 3 Members, so that equates to 16 minutes per day per Member.
i'm really glad that this thread finally got a GM response but because it got derailed by @SnakThree bringing up something completely irrelevant to our central concerns it was basically worthless
it's not an unpopular opinion at all that the requirement is far too lax considering how the first three pages of this thread is literally every faction leader saying that it should be increased and that those factions that just continuously skate in and out of the warning period should just have their officialdom removed
and that the barrier to entry and removal as an official faction is far too high given that it takes four months!!! to become official, assuming no admin delays or the like, and takes six months!!! to go unofficial if you immediately go AFK right after making the faction and getting it official
that's just insane. that's mind-boggling. officialdom isn't even worth that much beyond organizational tools and discord chat clout that nobody in their right mind listens to anyway
