Unofficial Factions on Discovery Forums

[SnakThree]

What is the fuss about? If the person trully wants to get into the unofficial faction he will ask how to join by posting it faction's thread or via PM.
Those who can't figure it out - their own fault.

...


Directing people to official factions is good because:
Off. Faction is more responsible for its members.
Off. Faction has higher roleplay standards.
Leaders are easy to reach and give feedback to, meaning improvement is quicker.
Most of the time off. Factions have more members thus increasing the possible help to new guy.
Off. Factions are currently responsible with their lore, technology thus losing off. Faction would be bad for general gameplay and so keeping activity above limit is good thing.

Why unofficial factions are bad:
Unoffi. Faction mostly consists of poorly English speakers thus newcomer, that is not good at English himself can't improve east enough.
Unoffi. Factions often has lower roleplay standards.
Unoffi. Factions are harder to give feedback on.
Unoffi. Factions mostly are temporary ones, that exist till the leader is happy about it.
They are numerous and multiple of NPC factions thus crowding it.
They rarely have good background behind them and so the immersion is lower.

...

I think unofficial factions should be able to recruit but only by the main thread's subtitle "PM to join" thus giving them at least small chance to become bigger, to attract some players.

PS.: That's my opinion, it's not facts.
