Quote:All these Idea's so far just benefit faction player's,and screw indies. I play both. I have been on server's who restrict people if they do not join a faction,and guess what? they are no longer around. Also you might as well change the name from discovery to "join us or we screw you" server.
This is the idea - that's what the original post said. This is for the benefit of official factions because official factions add several good things to the community.
There is a related point of discussion: get rid of official factions and let players do what ever they like (seriously).
I think indes (of which most of my characters are) also add stuff to the community but they rarely organise themselves to support more inclusive role play. There are exceptions to this but by and large the factions do a lot more of this. Most indes play for themselves. This is what I personally prefer to but at the same time I want more and better role play and I find that factions are better at this.
I must re-enforce this isn't about making a decision any time in the near future; we just want to get more ideas and suggestions and comments.
EDIT: And please stay calm. Don't put angry faces, personal attacks, etc in this discussion. I don't want it to degenerate into a flame fest. If it does, it'll get locked.
EDIT: Another edit, for any significant change we make, the advantages of it would have to significantly out weigh the disadvantages. We are concerned about potential abuse - who wouldn't be - we are concerned about not unncessarily restricted indes. This is a hard problem to solve. Ideally, we'll find things to add rather than take things away from players.
