Why the hell are people already joining factions?

Why do people join groups and create threads about how awesome their faction is and why everyone should join it? [b]THERE IS NO INFO ABOUT THE FACTIONS SO WHY ARE YOU ALREADY JOINING THEM!?[/b] As far as I know the only in-game reference to a faction we've seen is the Seven Seraphs logo on this character's [url=http://youtu.be/EwOUi4JDC4o?t=2m29s]helmet[/url]. But there are already faction-fanboys who praise things we know little to nothing about. Come on 7th column, you're better than this. At least wait until we know what the factions stand for and how they will work in Destiny. /rant EDIT: Is the picture glitched for anyone else?

  • Wait a second what factions? Do they have official names, or are people just making them up?

    • Yea, I'm very confused on how people are getting any viable information for these factions or why they would make up information etc etc...

    • We already know everything we need to. Dead Orbit is the Best Orbit, therefore it wins all the things. Period. So of course we'll praise it to the heavens.

      • They are just being impatient and NEED something to talk about. I don't understand what the factions would actually be for or accomplish, except more B.net superiority complex syndrome. All I know for sure is, I have no desire to claim any not knowing anything about anything.

      • Yeah i just read a thread about a faction and was confused as to whether it was a real faction within the game or merely made up by somebody for the forums.

      • We do know the names and the logos of the fractions and it is more than likely they would not affect gameplay seeing as how that is the role of the classes. So we argue over which one has a cooler feel so far. That is also probably why most people are in favor of The New Monarchy and Dead Orbit (which is the best orbit btw) because their names and images imply more than the other three.

      • Why not? This is what's going to drive Destiny forward. It's going to be Human interactions, tribes, factions and a mess of backstabbing. That's what drive's EVE online. You should check out Cracked.com when they talk about how the GoonSwarm destroyed the Band of Brothers by infiltrating them and setting them up for a fall and then they themselves were betrayed by their own founder. If that really happened then oh man what a drama that must've been. I'm pretty excited for these Factions and I can hardly wait to read up on their adventures and trials in the forums.

              • There are those that take risks when others wish to err on the side of caution. The risk takers will be the leaders and their right hands. Those that join next will be their swords, their shields, their armor, their tanks, their walls, their bases. They will make up the backbone and infrastructure. Those that have waited til the end will find, as the dust settles, that allegiances have been decided and positions of power are few and far between. Wait if you will, but you will find nothing but a political desert to call home, and no one but the lowest to call your leaders. There is still time. Join the Dead Orbit.

                • I saw the same thing too, and I really don't understand why everyone is doing that. I heard someone say that they get to summon meteorites by phase walking if you join Dead Orbit.

                • It'll be the same as always with groups; only a couple will actually make it past 3 months, and the ones that do, actully have something to offer the community.

                • Me and my pals sometimes make little groups, but we don't call them Factions. In my head I just call it a Fire team, because at the most we only had like 5 people at a time.

                  I think this calls for a disinformation campaign. This april dead orbit will be revealed to be the brony faction, while seven seraphs are hardcore pacifists :)

                    I will act as a freelance bounty hunter that travels through space wherever it takes me. No factions will bind me but the one that is my own. Others may follow in my footsteps, may even work with me, but know this... I work best alone. My exploits will travel across and factions will call my name. Bounty Hunter Samus Aran

                      I just like this emblem I have here. And I'm gonna work my butt off for this armor.
