Inconceivable!


I PMed Sysquella about this a while ago, but I've yet to get a response. So here's the idea:

I feel like a Looking For Faction Thread in the EpicDuel Factions subforum would be a great help for ED players. Right now, there really isn't a place a player can go if they need a faction besides asking randomly in-game. You might have noticed there aren't too many ED Factions that have made pages in the Recruitment Forum, so there aren't many options for new players that don't know people in ED and need a faction. The few factions that have made threads are mostly very active and highly competitive factions that wouldn't be appropriate for newer or more casual players.

A sticky where anyone could post that they are looking for a faction would help a lot. The format for it could be very simple:
[b]In-Game Name:[/b]
[b]Level:[/b]
[b]Class:[/b]
[b]1v1 Record:[/b]
[b]2v2 Record:[/b]
[b]Prefered Alignment:[/b] Legion / Exile / Either
[b]Notes about yourself:[/b] your daily wins; how active you are; any other notes
Interested faction officers or leaders could then PM these players offering to recruit them.

A lot of factions, especially newer or casual factions, aren't going to bother making a recruitment thread but if there was a thread that they could just check on for potential recruitees, then those people would be able to find factions. On top of that, since faction officers and leaders will be checking the EpicDuel Factions forum more frequently, it might encourage more factions to get involved in the CHG forum and post their own threads.


Thoughts? I'd love to hear what the CHG staff think about this.

The main concern seems to be that people would use that opportunity to advertise their factions. This could be solved by only offering factions via PM. Once the player has joined that faction, they edit the posting saying so, so nobody else would PM them.

^ It could work just like the Let's Party threads do. Once you have a faction, just strikeout your post.

And yes, I was thinking that interested Factions would PM the player. I'll include that detail in the first post.

I don't think it's a bad idea, at all. The concern about advertising is a legitimate one, but that's what AKs are for. Using the Let's Party thread is a good comparison. A follow-up with Sysquella seems to be in order, Ashari.

Hey, is there anything new on this? As far as I can see, it's a wonderful idea that's been approved by Circe, yet there is still no such sticky.

Acient J, unfortunately, it looks like Sysquella rejected the idea.

ORIGINAL: Sysquella

I really do not think that an added thread for people looking to join a faction will be anymore helpful than the sticky that is already established listing all of the Epic Duel Factions (in the ED subforum) as well as the recruitment thread section. It would just be added spam that would need to be cleaned up regularly. If someone wants to join a Faction, they simply need to check the Epic Duel subforum for the master list of factions, or check the recruitment thread.


I took my time to elaborate all the positive aspects of this idea: how this could help bring in activity from both the leadership (faction leaders and officers) and of the general populace (the players looking for factions); however it looks like the decision has already been made. I'll respect Sysquella's decision, thought I'm not agreeing with it -- I've made what arguments I could for this suggestion (we had a lengthy discussion about it) and I'll leave it as-is.
