[quote]The admin team want official factions to: A) Make 'role-play and rules challenged' players better.[quote]
I wasn't looking to achieve this by giving power to official factions over other players. I was looking for ideas to achieve this by making factions (even more) fun. That's why my post was titled "How to make factions better?" not "How to make faction more powerful over independant players".
Encourage players to join, do not coerce them to do so. Admittedly the line between encourage and coerce is a blurry one but if any one ever says "You must join this faction or we will hunt you down" they and their faction will be in trouble. Coerce to me, means force indes to join factions. This will never happen.
I note that running a successful official faction is hard work - much harder than looking after only yourself. It seems to me that for most factions there are more advantages to not being official at the moment.
I think a lot of people here are quite selfish. They are only interested in themselves rather than the whole community or their interest in the community extends only as far as it affects them.
