Basically, this part of the forum is there to talk about ideas that can improve Ryzom, so I think this turn in brainstorming isn't wrong. You just think in all directions that fit the topic.
Because of the small number of players, 4 factions are rather counterproductive, in my humble opinion, but other players I talk to also see it that way. If there were more players, it wouldn't be worth mentioning. We have to consider making player-based decisions and fighting power a relic of the past and moving forward.
Let's take a possibility:
There can be a hidden King of the Kitins who has been discovered by whoever. He controls all other Kitins mentally in his environment. All homins join together to eliminate him in a final battle. This does not succeed. 2 factions are as good as rubble due to the constant attacks on their temples/camps (These factions cease to exist, there are only the obedient homins left who still have the title). One discovers Goo modified Kitins, which are similar to the Homins and have to live deeply in exile by the King, which can communicate by thought transmission. These are rebels in the ranks of the Kitins and want to depose the king. Can they be trusted? The Homins are badly wounded. A representative of the united homins is available as an informant for the coup of the Kitin king. The last two factions and the survivors of the other factions, as well as the exiled Kitin hominids, join forces. The camps/temples are devastated... Only one faction survives, the Kitin King is defeated. Now there are the other Homins other factions that can still carry the title of old factions, but there are no NPC representatives left. What could follow? The Hominoden Kitins will stand against the Homins after a successful coup by the King, but give them the opportunity to convert to the Kitins (as a faction) or be wiped out. Some become traitors and some stay with the Homins. How will you decide? Will you remain loyal to your faction or will you join the new enemy or the remnant of the remaining "Homin faction"?
Such a scenario could look like this.
