I like sindroms faction idea, and I believe it is a bad attitude to give any total bad feedback even before the faction is launched ingame. I don't know about sindroms past but, give him a chance it can either be good or bad whatever they do ingame and he already gave his promise that he would stop it if something goes bad.
Although I would like to join, but I believe I would not be able to raise enough time to maintain another character ad: sorry ): .
