Now If this was truly the case then i'm sure they wouldnt be selling supreme equipment for very high profits. I'm sure there would be no supreme mules and I'm sure everyone can see through the rhetoric if they take a second and think about it. But just in case your distracted here's a hint: they do sell supreme gear for high profit..they must have a surplus of supreme gear avialble.  |
I think we can all come to the agreement that people will play the way they see fit. Others may not agree, but thats for them to deal with and to either attempt to change them through convincing (doubtful) or find another way to deal with the situation.
As for greed not being a motivator or reasoning, well, RL would prove otherwise. Let us take America for example. One of the richest and most powerful nations in the world. and of course, tends to horde the "sup zun" of the world. However, that doesn't stop America from selling the weapons and other goods it produces. Greed is the motivation for all countries. If it wasn't we would have no taxes and no businesses. And for those countries that have attempted to abolish the system of greed (which creates social classes) through communism, well, they've all failed (or adapted to the point where they are no longer communist).
As for the alliance between OV and Infinity. Again, RL provides many examples where enemies have been able to get over their differences and create an alliance between the two. the communists and the nationalists in China during WWII. The Americans and the Russians today. America and Japan.
Also the kami and karavan are essentially religious beliefs. There are people who let them govern their every action. Others see them as more of a hobby type of thing or place their own lives ahead of it. The same could be applied to SoR. While Infinity is 100% kami oriented, that doesn't mean that they may place their devotion to the kami way before their devotion to enjoying the game. Different sides of the spectrum, but they agree to disagree. They understand each others position and respect it. One could even go so far as to say that they've realized that no matter what side a person takes (if any) that they are still a Homin.
if RL has taught of anything its that extremism never works.
