Additionally: Sieg Syndicate, I guess.
Forum sentiment definitely seems to frequently be "I got killed by The Syndicate/one of their side-empires again." Maybe it's not halting the entire game, but it's definitely halted my entire experience with it, and the experience of anyone I've tried to play with, too. I guess it's kind of hard to extrapolate beyond my own collected data. Considering that I would absolutely continually play this game with friends if I could, you aren't just ripping off leaves. Syndicate actively kills entire trees of people that could potentially play the game. If you stomp out everything growing in the garden, the only thing you're left with is the dirt. The concept that you all very, very obviously revel in doing it doesn't help.
Doesn't matter how much power you think you have if "I got wiped by Syndicate" is my, and others' entire experience with the game. I get wiped, I stop playing. Why bother doing it again?
Considering Haxus' vision for the game includes the ability to just be a person who owns a ship, has a crew, and travels between empires doing missions running supplies and killing pirates, the Syndicate is conceptually the biggest barrier between the projected and actual trajectory of the game's development.
Sieg Syndicate. Enjoy your dirt.
