IMHO RP should be realistic decision making not staring at fame numbers. I don't feel that "I'm <faction here> so I do <action here>" is good RP. I think RP should be: "I'm <faction here> so I should do <action here>, but I'm gonna do <another action> cause I feel it's the right thing to do". And when toons make their own decisions other toons must decide how to respond to it. "Let's declare a war on this guild that betrayed the faction" or "let's forgive them". I feel these decisions are much better RP than any number you can see in your stats. That's just my opinion, we should do what most players want.
