If I may answer, going to ignore the system might be a little too far-fetched, but given that it is a hotspot for not everyone but a biiig lot of people, it's entirely understandable that 24/7 of defensive play, responding to the same emergencies over and over and over again and again can prove infuriating if you don't have anything to really "balance it out".
I used to be a [LN] member and I know that the whole emergency here, pirates there, Outcasts on that lane, Rogues in Cali, Order from Alaska, etc. thing does end up becoming a chore for many at some point from what I've seen. It can easily lead to bad blood and "faction wars" turning into "player wars", regardless of whether say both sides of a current encounter are just "doing their job" or not. Given that people who have done the same thing over and over again for months with no end in sight will, in most cases, inevitably start losing patience, that can just lead to really bad situations for anyone involved. From what I can tell, factions which are purely "offense-based" tend to end up getting boring after a while, with activity dropping after "enough" raids have been done, whereas factions which are entirely "defense-based" can easily end up with a frustrated memberbase. (I don't mean to point fingers here or anything at anyone, it's just an observation.)
Balancing out one with the other can make the "chores" more enjoyable as they plain and simply don't end up being the only thing you do, but just a part of the variety of actions at your disposal. Of course, that's something where not just the faction in question itself has a responsibility, but the other groups and players around it, hostile, neutral or friendly in-RP, have a responsibility as well. In the BAF's scenario that would, for example, mean for all those Dublin miners to show some amount of understanding regarding the BAF's position, even on the basic levels like a random Miner getting it into his/her head that, another example, if the BAF were currently doing a raid in Omega-5, they ofc. would be already busy with something else and couldn't be at two places at the same time, hence why emergency responses might be unavailable and the miner in question might've to, bluntly put, suck it down and deal with his situation without the aid of Bretonia's resident nannies for once.
