it has happened numerous times I would join a server and every faction out there would be angry with me already. this mechanism is just not working. you cant expect people that hop on a server to make a faction as soon as they landed. most people wont read the forums before they start playing a game they just bought. I suggest every body starts/crashes on a server in their own personal faction. Or whatever other solution works. because as it is doesnt work
I think it's a setting at the moment, for server owners but default 'on' for spawning in own faction seems a good idea, have seen a few servers with this issue now, dont think intentional
