I am sorry but I do not follow you logic here, Daomei. PvP points are not faction points. Why should mara not be able to earn faction points? Your Matis vassal example is not excuded from 100% of faction point occs as we are. We cannot hand in occs items for faction points even if we can access the npc. I know many players have occ alts, and this applies to all factions, but many want an occ to do ourselves. We do not want our occ to earn faction points to be like the civ ones, we want it to be hard. We are not asking for things to made easy, but for equity. Yes, make it harder. No mara that I know of is complaining that mara life is hard - it is not! We are not complaining about lack of comfort, about parity of play. We want mara to be hard. But there is a difference between hard and lacking opportunities simply for a trite argument of mara life is supposed to be hard. Giving us a occ to earn faction points does not make life comfortable because we do not want an occ that a newly created alt can do, like cartographer. We want a challenge. There is one supposedly in developement, but whether that will ever happen is another thing. Yes, we want a finished faction, but we want it to be hard at the same time.
