@St.Denis Your criticisms are indeed legitimate based on this small discussion. However, I hope that the suggestion to buff OF's in terms of SC earned is not dismissed too quickly.
A %50 increase on event payouts might be too much. But I'm sure a fair increase can be worked out creatively across the board for all official factions. Not just on event payouts, but for day-to-day activities unique to the various types of factions.
