We admins understand your objections, but the thing is, your factions are suppoused to have at least minimal presence in the game. Please don't tell us getting 24 hours of activity a month from 5 players is something difficult for you, or takes a heavy toll on your real life, because, please, such claims are ridiculous.
We are currently discussing faction activity requirements. I can't speak for my fellow admins, how will they vote, but I proposed lowering faction activity requirement to four members. I agree getting more members in nowadays Disco, with its lowered activity, may be difficult, but a few persons in the faction logging for a few hours a month each surely is not.
I wanted to adress few controversial posts from the beginning of the feedback. It isn't the situation when evil bored Pavel woke up and decided to destroy someone's New Year. It was the entire team's decision, to finally after a very long break, start checking faction activity. We didn't check it for November because that month was still influenced by server issues, but December was not. Don't bring up "holidays" point, because that universal excuse can be then used to explain faction inactivity in every situation. Christmas, summer holidays, spring break, sport finals, summer (too hot), etc etc. Again, regardless of how brutal that may sound, we expect at least minimal activity from official factions. If you can't provide it, then you're going to lose your officialdom.
And again here, faction activity requirements are being discussed by the admin team. Some things may change drastically. Or may not. We'll see. But the checks are back, here, and we expect at least that tiny 24 hours a month from you, official factions.
