The part about which factions contribute to the server and which do not has always irked me, personally.
I still prefer if roleplay contributed to the server is for its own sake and not to fill an activity bar, to gain a new ID line, a ship or some similar goal. What was the term? Roleplay for the sake of Roleplay?
If you judge the factions only for the above and only offer them tangable goals and rewards based on specific criteria, you might be encouraging the wrong sort of activity.
I suppose the question is - how will you sort roleplay contribution for the sake of gaining benefits, from roleplay contributions that are not aimed at a particular goal but warrant some sort of formal nod and reward, even if not asked for. Because the whole official faction system, flawed from the start, encourages only the former style of roleplay and as subjective my view is on the matter, it leads to very artificial feeling lore at the best of times and straight up weaponized roleplay where players roleplay -against- another group.
Introducing changes like this will telegraph which sort of roleplay you want on this server and community moving forth and I heavily advise against being too hasty on this matter.
