How to make Discovery better?

[Camtheman Of Freelancer4Ever]

I just want to say, I will not stand for forcing independents to be anything other than independent, faction membership IS a choice and will always remain so.

I don't want official factions to have more power, I want there to be a reward for them doing what we ask of them, corporeal rewards, shiny things. Something that says thank you for the hard work they are expected to put in by us, the Admins.

Independents are an integral part of this server, where factions toe the NPC line, independents add spice and diversity to Discovery and they should be protected, sure the idiots need punting, but let's not be tarring all independents as idiots, eh?

RoS, LN, OPG, LR all of these factions and more have accepted rank amateurs into their ranks to help these folks improve their game and attitude. Because someone has to. But if they don't feel the love for a faction they won't join simple as. There's a reason I've never played a Gaian, I just don't like them.

So if you want to help Discovery, then do so by education and information, running to us every time a newbie does something wrong or demanding that we hunt down and destroy all indies isn't the solution.

Del, I love you for two reasons. That quote and helping me with those very smart IMG being annoying at FP11. You're great.

This is exactly my stance on the subject.
