Can you explain what stops you from doing the same thing?
The fact that I need people to log against my group and the fact that aggressively recruiting only ever leads to your faction in particular growing by 5 players or whatever. After a month, it crumbles apart like there's no tomorrow because they don't understand how to even play.
I am confused - [RM], DTR, AWES, GC- have a similar approach - all of them have retained players. It's not them, it's you.

I would like you to hear this and other vets to realize this. Your ways are OVER. The only people that really matter for building factions are people that actively enjoy logging inside the game and have a passion for playing it. If you think your edgy forum RP is a great contribution to the server - it isn't . We have 9 people online now. Who actually matters are the leaders that focus on logging into the game and who support and encourage others who log into the game. You cannot turn back time. What GC, AWES, and DTR do is here to stay. They made people realize how much fun the game can be. You can dream of your ancient dreams of quality, control over people, and elitism but you will forever be stuck in trying hard to merely grind out your three days.
It's just an old game people play to have some fun, nothing more. Enable their enjoyment and they will join you and stick around with you.
I strongly recommend you listen to this - it opened my own eyes to how stupidly rigid Disco factions have been.
GC- doesn't have this approach. I give every single new player I come across and who seems lost on what to do some guidelines and maybe some money to start up. I encourage them to do their own thing and join whatever faction they like. If I invite them to the faction channel it is to meet more people and find people they can fly with, not to join GC.
If people join GC, its because they told me they are interested. Not because I encouraged them to join us. (Except for Ext, ive been bothering him for months.)
