Imma touch upon this as a Faction Leader for FD.
Most definitely not. Entry "barrier" is an application, in-game interview lasting maybe 10-15 minutes, an NPC'd academy and a short exam. Should you pass all that? 3 patrols in total as a probie and you get to do your own thing on an ambulance. The idea that FD becomes a noob faction as portrayed before definitely won't happen as long as I'm a part of faction leadership.
Not to mention, FD has an open recruitment constantly now. Need I put the bar lower cause people can't be fucked doing a simple application and a simple process?
I don't even want to entertain this point in all honesty lol cause this must be the most brain rot reply I've seen thus far. And this thread is full of them.
Most if not all are done. Again, I'll sound like an asshole, but just cause you didn't see them, doesn't mean they don't happen. Everything FD has done change wise recently is lowering the bar. And we aren't gonna lower it any further. And, imma end this off that it's the community that needs fixing, not FD, nor any other faction. A faction's job isn't to spoon feed anyone.
