There are about 3 things I hate about begging within this Game.
1) Those that aren't polite enough to even say Please.
2) Those that you give money to, you see their level go up and within a few minutes their Level drops as they send cash to another one of their Characters (which they log later to check how much they have collected).
And the worse ones are the Vets who can't be bothered grinding for cash and pull this stunt.
The last one has caused me to be very selective to whom I send money to.
Now the Post has developed, as it seems to me, about people (we will call them the Elitists) who are deciding who should and shouldn't have Caps. These Elitists have tarred all Newcomers with the same brush. All these 'Noobs' are interested in is Power Trading so that they can have Battleships with Cap VIII Armour, Battleship Scanners, Cloaking Devices and Docking Modules.
Not everybody is the same.
The interesting question that comes to mind is:
How many of the previous Posters have already got their multiple Caps with all the trimmings or even had them if they feel so strongly about (because if they disagree with them so much then they have got rid of them). Or is it 'well I am in an Official Faction so that makes it alright that I have all these toys'.
The term Hypocrites springs to mind.
Please let people play this Game as they want as long as it is within the Rules.
Official Faction Recruitment. I quite agree that the Forums are full of Recruitment Posts, but how many of them are up to date? How many get answered relatively quickly?
These 'Noobs' that Power Trade all day and very much go everywhere. How many Official Factions do they see? Who talks to them (other than 2 mill or die)?
It is/should be the Responsibility of Official Factions (OFs) to be seen, not to log just when there is a fight or somebody wanders in to your Space. If these Noobs/Indy Players see, regularly, certain Faction Tags they are more likely to remember them if and when they decide to join Groups.
The days of 200 Players, at the moment, are over. The OFs need to fight for those that do play. Let the OFs go to the Players and not the Players go to the OFs. If you make it interesting for them then they might bring their Friends along.

'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person
