What is bad about indies?

[Hone]

Earlier I asked everyone what they liked about having indies, as the first part of my attempt to get rid of the bad things about indies, whilst keeping the good, and got a load of responses, and little hate. Thanks, now please tell me what is BAD about having indies.

As before I'll start off:

1: They break up faction diplomacy: Where an unlawful official faction might make a treaty with another faction which is ignored by indies. This leads to strange OORP scenarios where indies are considered seperate to the official faction, such as the weird GMG/Kusari war, where cannon has said not to shoot indies.
Same with indies breaking house laws.

Please let me make this clear this time, I am NOT talking about generic IDs

Well, quite a lot of them have no idea about faction lore and customs. Ofcourse, there are -plenty- of people who just don't want to be tied to a faction, but there are more people who for instance just barge into a fight, and are genuinly surprised when we (as faction members) tell him its overkill to bring a cruiser into a fight thats already balanced.

Being an Indie is awesome, most factions have the same people in them
and the same leaders and the same rules and same cliqueness ,and the same idea to
brainwash their members to hate indies, its a big stupid circle.

The only thing i can think of is indies can be out of the loop when it comes to faction diplomacy or simply don't care what the player faction is doing and shoot players the player faction has a treaty with for example, which as you can imagine causes problems.

I myself don't care about if someone is an indie or not. If they are responsible and can RP I don't have a problem with them. Though I do expect official factions to out shine indies, seeing as many claim to hold themselves to higher standards.

Nothing.

Everybody started as an indie. And then decided whether he wants to play faction roleplay or indie roleplay. And both is perfectly acceptable.

I don't know why in this game there is this front between players. *shrugs*

I am an indy, I am here to play the game and have fun for myself. I do not give two cookies about your off cannon roleplay or your faction dickwaving contest.

Sue me.

Quality :laugh:
