How to make Discovery better?

Wrong, those are all factions. They have faction ID's, faction rules and limits, faction philosophies and mores. They aren't part of the larger factions, and allow more freedoms in some ways and less in others, but they are still factions.


All systems are open to abuse. For example, right now the npc faction system is being abused. What you do is establish checks and balances to prevent that abuse. The player factions already have a system of checks and balances in place that would prevent abuse.

First, it will never be exclusively in the hands of admins. In the case of the discovery community, our power as a community is somewhat limited. In the game, if we do not like you, do not like your role play, we can personally sanction you by simply ignoring you. Also, player factions police themselves. If your actions are innapropriate your player faction will punish you accordingly. The factions are not abusing thier players, they aren't going to abuse the independants they have to sanction either. If they do, they will be quickly ganged up on by the other factions and sanctioned themselves. As I said, the system of checks and balances for the player factions is already in effect.

Second, I see more official faction memebers reaching out to help people than I see independants. In fact, it is a part of many of the official factions rules. Members are to help guide new players and new members in developing thier role-playing skills as well as thier game knowledge base. It is a perk of being part of that factions community, as well as a service that makes the members feel good about thier own role within the game. Most lolwutters are independants, most players that take them aside and say, "You can't do that, you'll get banned." are faction members.

My civilian ID makes me part of the civilian faction. My Mercenary ID makes me part of the Mercenary faction. Fail?

Yes, checks and balances. They are called the server rules.

Yes, there are further checks and balances because factions already have the power to deal with independents and those powers are effective enough.

You see everything? Right. *Facepalm.*


Now, a generic statement, can someone list out the situations which the faction cannot deal with in the current situation?

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
