Abolish artificial restriction "Fraction/Nation<->Guild - Refused

Zagh

So, being Matis and Karavan, I shouldn't impose this in my guild that was created to defend these two alignments under the pretext that I potentially deprive a player of his freedom?

You are missing the point completely. Impose whatever restrictions you want, just don't force other guilds to impose them as well.

Zagh

What about you who absolutely wants to impose on me your need to "I want to do what I want regardless of the game's history"? Aren't you restricting my freedom to play as I see fit?

Nobody is trying to remove the ability to restrict factions and nations you accept into your guild, just advocating for making them optional for other guilds. Therefore, nobody is restricting your freedom to play as you see fit.

Zagh

Obviously, you're going to answer that no and that I'll be the only decision-maker in my way of playing if everyone can do what they want.

Exactly. Because that's how it is.

Zagh

And I answer you that you are in error because leaving room for too much freedom, we arrive at too many mistakes.
For example, fyros and matis hate each other. zorais and trykers hate each other. It's not me who says it, it's Ryzom's lore. You want to play a character who love everyone, free to you, but you are inconsistent with the lore.

The lore isn't a set of rules. It's a story about the past of Atys. As far as I know, when it comes to politics, they have always been very player driven. Therefore, cross-faction alliances aren't impossible. Besides, they would make sense from a lore standpoint, too. It's not uncommon for people to unite against a common enemy, be it the kitins or the marauders, or maybe something else entirely.

New example. I wanted to declare the independence of the territory of Avalae in the Matis kingdom because RP Matis was no longer going. The Lore and Animation team told me "You take too much freedom, it's impossible".

Honestly? I'd be all for it. As long as there is some kind of event where you come to an agreement with the Matis kingdom and Matis citizens. Though it depends on how you would like to do this. If it would just end up annoying other players, then it might not be that great of an idea.

All in all, you are making a huge issue out of something that isn't one. Nobody is trying to force you to abandon your way of playing, merely asking for more options that would better accomodate other playstyles. You are being defensive but there is nobody attacking you. There are many communities on Atys. I believe we can live in a peaceful coexistence (and I mean as players, not neccessarily as characters), but that means all sides of the conversation need to take steps to achieve it. The playerbase is small and we should work together to make our stay on our beloved rootball as pleasant as possible, learn some tolerance and stop antagonizing each other just because we think someone else's fun is wrong. Shouting about how your way is the only right way isn't going to make things any better. Realizing that different people like different things and that that's perfectly okay just might.
