Quote:Though what I suspect you're implying is that you feel that the worth of official factions has depreciated to such an extent that your view is that they're no longer worth the time investment of the 500 credits.
To which I say posh.
I'll have to agree with Dusty on this;
By joining/creating a clan yes you may lose some freedoms/control over your individual character, but you gain support from fellow clan members, friendship, loyalty, shared ideas, ect, ect... the list goes on.
When divided by the number of players usually required for and or in a faction, the total comes to roughly 100mil or less per character, which really isnt as much as it may seem. If only ONE person in the faction is paying for it, then thats not exactly fair to that person and shows that they dont really have full or equal support in its creation.
In other words, factions who are working together and or have atleast 5 players should be able to easily put up the 500mil without any probs.
