Quote:I would be all for a radical change (maybe not this particular one though) if it's going to work. But to put it bluntly the mindset you are up against is "But what about all the stuff I have now, you'll take that away?" - "Yes" - "Oh well I won't play anymore then" and on the threat of that, nothing changes because there is a perceived risk of loss to the community in it.
I agree, I haven't thought of the already present stuff players have. However, the barge dissappearance did not pose so much problem when it was removed, and we all know how much it costed.
What I wanted to underline is that fact: Offical factions are fine in my opinion. The problem is that we all got to do the RP to get into official factions. We all had to respect the ZOI, the lore.. Everything. Indies on the other hand have all those advantages without any responsabilities.
And I'm fine with this, as long as they do not have the same advantages as we have.
