Re: A way to give people a grand purpose


I have played VS almost exclusively for years. The reason being, I was shown the ropes by a very nice bunch of guys in LFS many years ago.

Belonging, loyalty and purpose starts in good outfits and that then spills over to empire loyalty.

I see so many 'no outfit' types running about these days, no real affiliations, no real bond with the game. Not even the slightest reason to care how their faction is faring coz they are motivated by unlocks and jumping from empire to empire to try 'stuff'

Hopefully the Outfit Update will get more people in outfits and give them a more ingrained sense of belonging and purpose.

My points may seem off topic, but a well lead and structured outfit is a far greater motivator than some transient reward. The game is too unlock and reward orientated as it is, it leads to a sense of entitlement that the game must continue to sate.

There should be more perks and incentive to join outfits, better gameplay will follow.
