I have had quite enough of this....The fact that I have over 400 hours in a fighter, far more than in my other ships, often rp with people in game etc, including escorting and helping players that ask, is completely ignored and all I see is a load of complaints in this thread. Do you see me or most other DW posting endless complaints on other factions? "do this do that"... No......why? because most of us respect other people enough to let them get on with their rp in their factions as they see fit. What I am seeing here is not what I consider condusive to a fun online gaming experience. I am discussing DW future here and will post shortly on our decision.
Its a shame, it really is, that you would be called a capwhore when you spend so much time in a fighter. But as you can see, thats the impression you have given. I suspect the fact that your fighter is level 90 does nothing to help this situation, because whomever sees that in the players list will assume its a huge capship.
People aren't lying to you, they're talking about their impressions of your faction, giving feedback. In many cases, it is often prefaced with a "I have only ever seen X" with which you respond with "Thats a Lie, I have 400 hours on my fighter." You're claiming that their experience with the DW is wrong, because another experience is possible. I'm sure Praetyre could find a logical fallacy in that. It just seems wrong to me.
So, with caps, you seem to give the impression that you are a cap faction, which, if you even try to change, (change the impression, not what you are.) will take a lot of work, convincing many people. Every DW has a fighter and a bomber, and I'd suggest you be very active in those. Pro-actively engage other factions in them, and do it a lot. It would also help if you created some bank characters so those fighters were around level 50-60, rather than 90, which people will assume is a cap fleet. Acting as you do right now has given the impression that you are a cap faction to a great many people, as this thread attests to. If you want to change that, you will have to change how you act.
The other complaint oft raised in this thread is that you are not from the Disco universe. You've a RIFT interdimensional jumpgate thing, which you use to send people to some other place, from whence you came. We've no problem with DW's history, in an orrp fashion, but when you incorporate it into disco RP, you get many people's heckles up. How hard would it be to create an RP where the DW had not jumped in from another universe?
I take your post to indicate you are thinking of leaving, which I think is a shame. Even worse, you are leaving because of a feedback thread. If you'd never posted, all of these impressions and beliefs would still be around, but you would be ignorant of them. You've been offered a chance to change, and are reacting as if we are suddenly hostile. We've always felt this way, you just weren't aware. Now you are, and you can make it right, or not.
