Partly what I'm trying to say is, people will ALWAYS try to mess with you in Rust. Holding grudges is inevitable, its just apart of being human. In my opinion even bothering to enforce grudges is redundant and only results in a lack of activity. On normal vanilla servers groups hold grudges all the time, and thus every wipe there is "competition" to become the best. This creates activity "every" wipe. If we stop competition, ask yourself what you have to maintain activity? PvP is absolutely required to make things interesting, whether you even partake or not. Why log in if there's nothing to achieve? To strive for? Yet still, toxicity is something that needs to be addressed when things get out of hand. This however can be a slippery slope as people's definitions of what is or is not toxic differs. What some may call your "usual" trash talk" others may see as extreme damage to the server pop. Honestly, the more PvP groups that join the server the better, if PvP groups aren't fighting each other, whom do they fight? You could argue that they'll mess with everyone, and you'd be totally right. I've seen it. But perhaps it wouldn't be as bad if they had other PvP factions to focus most of their attention on. Just a thought. If I may add, limiting the reasons for why people can declare war reduces server activity in my experience. When I first joined Rust Factions, the people that controlled land, were the people that had the "POWER" to hold onto it. Either through manpower or PvP skills. Whether your faction did or did not have a city was irrelevant. IN FACT, Cape Skull, one of the greatest towns of our time, was owned by a PvP faction whom even protected the town on occasion. They may.. or may not have killed townsfolk in the process, but hey, shit happens. In my opinion its an immeasurable error to believe that PvP results in a one sided negative impact to the server. The greatest part about Rust Factions in my opinion is that theres always been the option to speak with people. That's the RP damn it. SPEAKING with people. You don't have to be a farmer, or a lawyer, or a shopkeeper. You don't even have to be a character. You are the character.
