What does your Faction mean to you?
Hello and welcome Guardians! for those who still recognize my name it's been a while, for everyone else, HELLO! i'm AnonPig, i do the lore things.
But today I'm here to ask you that very simple question, there are three Factions in Destiny and they all have their own philosophical stance on how to do things in the Destiny Universe, i align with Dead Orbit myself because i feel it's the most logical answer. Holding on to our planets and our lost Golden Age is a mistake, we can find a better life out there among a different star.
so what does your Faction mean to you? (answers may be read on the corresponding Faction episode of my podcast the Destiny Lore Cast, go check out our episode with Baxter from https://www.ishtar-collective.net linked above!)

I used to follow Dead Orbit vehemently, its all I would wear or buy. They were my guys.... But now? The Factions don't serve any purpose...they're just glorified gear vendors, there is no moving forward with their stories or their philosophies. There is no benefit to being a member of them save for getting a rank up package. Sure when you hit 25, you got a cool Exotic Mark, but nothing else. They need their own storylines, patrolling the planets should be part of Faction storyline/lore; gathering parts for Dead Orbit's ships in the Cosmodrome, Searching out new weapons of war on Mars for FWC, combing through the Collectives archives on Venus for New Monarchy.... I love this game, but there is so much untapped potential with 90% of the stuff in it, but at the moment...they just don't mean anything anymore.
