Why join factions?

[Jayenbee]

I see joining a faction to be an effort towards keeping the flag flying for the corresponding NPC faction, pooling your resources and throwing your hat in the ring to generate activity (RP, PvP & PvE (includes trading/mining & PoBs), which contributes to the greater whole of keeping this mod active.

Most people don't bother to log in unless there's other people who do so. This is why you get people joining numerous faction discords to wait for pings, but if these factions didn't exist to begin with and if players didn't join them, that wouldn't be possible in the first place! Hence, keeping the proverbial flag flying. Something I don't really see much appreciation for.

I've been a HC for many a faction in my time, wouldn't say I've ever been the greatest, yet my own personal desire to lead the way so that others are encouraged to join in is in my honest opinion a requirement to keep this mod going and those that suffer this, should be awarded something for their time and efforts, in whatever form it takes.
