After having a few conversations with others, I know that this idea will be divisive like no tomorrow - but I believe it’s worth posting it up for consideration all the same. In the past, I’ve noted that several Major Factions have managed to persist on the map through Invasions alone, whether it be through launching them or being on the receiving end. I get it; they’re popular threads that shake up the status quo of the map. So, it’s only natural that they’d draw in droves of people to participate in some capacity. However, to me? I don’t think they’re a viable metric to determine if a faction’s active enough to retain its status as a Major Faction.
More often than not, those Major Factions that struggle to bring in activity elsewhere are effectively being carried along by their opposition. Which, at least to my perception, results in an exhausting IC and OOC slog for either side.
To cut to the chase, my idea and suggestion that I’m posing to the site and staff is to remove Invasions from the MF activity check requirements. I feel like a faction should not only be able to draw people in with Invasions, but they should be able to stand on their own two feet without them. I believe that excluding Invasions from the activity checks would see an increase in various internal faction threads to help flesh out the territories that Major Factions have acquired. While that’s just my optimistic viewpoint, as who knows what the effect could be if implemented, having a faction be active in fleshing out the territory it “owns” on the map seems like a win to me.
