Game Mechanics: faction

[emubird]

Quest factions are pretty much non-classic across the board. Starting factions for quests are all wrong, it seems, and required factions for rewards are pretty much nonexistant.

One obvious case in point is the Stein of Moggok quest, which requires no faction work, at all, to complete on our server. In classic, it literally took weeks just to get faction required for parts of the quest. There were many steins already on our server in week two.

Another is Lynuga's quest in Innothule Swamp. All players seem to start indifferent with her and can get her quest. She should be killing on sight any players hostile to the Broken Skull faction (everyone but trolls to begin with). Her quest has become one of the easiest sources of money flow on our server, and is being used quite heavily.

It is unfortunate that factions are non-classic in so many ways, a lot of the depth of the server is lost when faction is partially eliminated like this.
