You guys didn't read my post, if you did, you would see that I use game mechanics to prove my points as well as the actual definitions of words. The examples I used can be in game examples, which is exactly why I used them. If you cannot come up with anything besides, I don't want that to be true so it's not, then please don't reply.
I have explained civillian IDs, Recruit IDs, and Special OP IDs, not just in my last post but in a few before that.
The word generic has no bearing on the debate at hand. It is simply a label applied to differentiate between the generic pirate and all the other pirate factions during conversation. It changes nothing in regards to whether it is a faction or not.
I know the Civillian ID is no longer just the begainers ID, I stated that.
