I think the point missed is that the nomad id IS a terrorist id. And since those will never be freely available, that pretty well trumps all player argument and discussion. Not to say that it's tough now to get into the nomad faction, but that there is a level of responsibility that comes with the freedom the id grants.
See, the whole thrust is that YOU want the toy without going through the simple procedure to get it, but that then opens it up to all - including those who have no idea how to RP as a nomad. The trial id is out there for a reason -so the lolwuts that want it can have it and then if they prove themselves worthy, they can EARN the faction id.
If not, they can still play, they just don't get all the good toys. Like the Marduk.
Why do you keep insisting that it is us who wants to run around with 'Terrorist' IDs?
The premise of the thread is that a change of some description is wanted in order to increase activity with the Nomads, Order, Hunters and other closely related groups, such as the Corsairs and Outcasts. Morph suggested that one such way would be to open up the ID, and it appears that he wanted suggestions and community feedback as to how this could be refined.
So I ask you, do you have another suggestion? I personally am willing to help on both sides, and manpower will be a crucial factor.
You may disagree, but it seems that a number of community members don't, so lets 'unite' and work through this with civility.
