People can think of anything, chopper, regardless of what truth is. People think many things of factions out there, Keepers including. I'm not bothered, because many things here are based on guesswork, speculations, half-truths, mixed together with personal issues and many other things completely unrelated to facts, game and game mechanics at all. I told hows and whys, and what happens around. Common sense and ability to abstract from the sandbox to look upon it from various viewpoints isn't easy and certainly requires effort in this environment, I wish some did make that step. Spoken word has great power in tight communities, a passed phrase can do many things, and whether it contains a truth or lie becomes irrelevant. It's difficult to take no sides, it's difficult to work with new concept, but for me and many other players, whether they are members of the faction or not, it is worth going through. And I will keep going.
If someone wants to flame me - ok, feel free to do so, I'm not here to please absolutely every single player. Naturally some will like it, some will hate it. I have my preferences as well as regards what things I like or not. Can't be absolutely grey in the colorful kingdom. Look as to how people try to be neutral to everything, does it work? No.
If people want to compare very raw stats, discarding everything else - feel free. Will that change anything? No. Because it's far more complex than that, many factors affect the outcome, some of which are independent of stats, so like I said, this "comparison flaming" is very narrow as it discards most of the raw data resulting in biased conclusions, such cannot be authentic in my book.
