This isn't a job. We have lives, real jobs, wives, husbands, children, etc etc.
We come here to have fun. Your suggested standards, as Ath pointed out, kill over 75% of the current factions. Funny thing is, there are very few unofficial factions clamoring at the gates to replace those factions. Thus tech requests and faction to faction interaction would dry up.
In effect your suggestion kills the server. I know you'll claim that people just need to pick it up. Guess what? People play here as a past time, not as work.
Your required event per month merely puts more strain on faction leaders, who are already under the strain of recruiting, dealing with faction to faction role play, planning faction role play, dealing with tech requests, playing the game themselves, and having a life.
Do try to remember this server has a very had cap of 200 players online at the same time. With the number of official factions we have, we'd have to have an event every day or two for all of them to meet this requirement. Which means admins would have to kick people off the server to allow people participating in the event to get on. They don't do that because it is wrong. There is also the fact that not everyone here lives in the same time zone.
