Well I cannot speak for the others but only for myself. I am general indie player. I am around since a bit let say around 2 years and I currently am not part of any official faction. This however dont stops me to play together with them. I really dont see any problem in being faction player or indie player.
I personally prefer to be indie because I cannot be active enough to be part of the faction( due to my real life issues I can have 20 hours per week for freelancer for 2 or 3 weeks then I dont log for 1 or 2 months or so.)
I try to be nice with everyone and to respond according their actions not according their faction tags.
The funny part is that there is certain line that must not be crossed when we speak for lolwuts.
For me new player who break the rules because he is not aware of them, or young kid who wants to play the game but he is RUSS and dont understand English is also not so much lolwut...
I somehow am willing to excuse this players for their behaviour because they could read the rules and not break them, or learn some basic English.
On the other hand I see much worst things from faction players/factions who are here from a long long time.
For such long time they forgot that this is actually a game witch purpose is not to enlarge your ego, but to entertain yourself.This is only virtual world, it actually doesn't matter if you win or loose...
Tons of personal bias/hate/not u/trolling each other/forumlancer/PvP-whoring/Ganking/Meta-Gaming/Power-Gaming. There are are people/factions who hate each other so much that if you put them in one room they will start to fight each other... for a game.. hell see this topic you fight even here.... So yea... please stop hating each other- it is a game after all..
