Meh ooc opinion is always against the faction that actually does anything. Happened when the Republic was active and trying to do more then just sit there. It is happening again just people are letting the ooc and IC blend together. I just ignore them cause well we are the most active, we have more then enough members with good ideas, our leadership team are helpful, respectful and well open to opinions which is attractive in a leadership team. It is why people get frustrated with the Republic and defect, it is why they just simply leave and why in the divide thread one entire group said "keep us out of it". Bottomline the sith are supposed to be evil but the ooc feelings are always going to be if your faction is being successful and getting members it is a bad thing. No one likes seeing success for other people while their opinion of themselves gets shattered.
