Lolwuts in Capships

[Randomizator]

Giving the power of resricting their ships to the factions would actually be a very good idea IF the factions were composed of absolutely ininfluenceable, fair, tolerant, moderate players. And let's be realistic, that's not the case. Factions are composed of very good players for the most part, good enough to have power over players who willingly joined their fation, but never good enough to have power over all players. Players good enough for that have a name : admins. Even if MOST factions only had admin-class players in their leadership, there would still be a few (maybe not much, one or two is enough) who would have a selfish, or arrogant, or radical, or elitist, or a bit of all that leadership. And what happens then to the players who want a ship from these factions ? They have to change their ship, thus their rp, effectively limiting possibilities.

Can this community pay such a high price to get rid of "lolwutters" ? (I won't deny i'm an occasional lolwutter, though not in pvp, but that's not the point). And if this rule is implemented, i am pretty shure that the diminution of the player base would be much more than 50 percent, because one way or another, people like freedom. As Xoria, quoted by Wood, already said, the only way to make it fair would be to give the players the possibility to appeal their case if their request is refused by the faction, with a final admin decision. But as Xoria also said, because faction mambers are not saints, there would be so many appeals that the admins would be overwhelmed.

So please, for the sake of Discovery, kill, report, sanction, harass and mock lolwutters if you want, but do not factionalize ships.
