Wait!! That's what they are!! That's how official factions have used them all along!! Oh, so there was no problem in the first place!! No zoner drama! OH!
The next guy that calls for any change on any zoner asset must first suggest to have one asset of his most played faction removed/changed also. Again: shut up already and go play.
(and, yeah, thank you Fifty, some sensive opinion in this thread for once)
Pretty much what I was about to say.
If one official member behaved in that way, they would have been sanctioned or put out of existence ages ago. Sadly same cant said for the behavior of one or group of lolwut who seems they get away with it, but the rest of the responsible Zoner community gets punished for it.
Restricting CAPS for officials like SCRA and handing out rest on SRP / Endorsement basis would have solved the problem years ago but we obviously cant have that can we.
Many blame the official factions not doing enough to help . Many are right because official factions can't. Guess why ? When they do, their voice are often brushed aside and often ignored. The perfect example was few months ago with Jinx/Kaz trying to alter Zoner shiplines. All 3 Official Zoner factions + Commonwealth came together to say No. They made both official statement and a joint statement, they participated in Zoner threads despite trolls. Result? None of what the Official Zoners said was taken in because the recipient had their fingers shoved in their ears.
That's the whole point of this suggestion: it puts power back into the hands of the officials.
If the indies don't like it, that's OK. They can still continue their Zoner RP, with the difference of not being able to fly nephilims into house space.
