It's Igiss's baby, he created it. It's not a Democracy. We play here at his whim. The server is privately owned by 1 individual.
It would , however, be nice to have a little option 1.5 available.
It would allow some lee way to correct some imbalance situations and reward those factions or groups who are actively playing.
We can't go down the #2 route, as the player limit is 200. Also, People have MULTIPLE characters in MANY different factions and groups. Unless you want to restrict people to only being able to be part of one official faction.... and that's not going to go over well.
Additionally, some of us have Families / Lives / Jobs / Responsibilities and other things we need to do and can't sit and play on a computer all day long to defend a little patch of space.
EVE is EVE. Disco is Disco.
