' Wrote:Admins are players, Xoria. No better, no worse.
All Admins may be players, but not all players are Admins. The implications are self-evident. Not to mention the fact that that is an entirely inadequate defense of your position nor is it a sufficient refutation of anything I said. Truisms, by definition, prove nothing, so offering them is of no evidential value.
But what is especially revealing here is that when the suggestion that player faction control over ship sales to properly affiliated members of those npc factions may be removed, the response is "what's the point of paying to become an official faction then?" This necessarily implies that the most important and valuable privilege of official factions is placing restrictions on non-members of those player factions. If that is the view of people pursuing official faction status, then I think that demonstrates the inadvisability of granting them such power. It also completely ignores the numerous official factions which do not own systems and do not wish to own systems. According to the implications of the question, they must all be nuts.
