As a member of the faction in question, let me try to put things into perspective.
1. we started out as a new faction about 2 years ago. Bomba gathered about 10-15 of us as pretty new players.
2. After a while, we decided we would sell and get a bigger faction (800k respect). I eventually lost the faction(9 billion) cos I transferred ownership instead of setting up a trade (noob move).
3. We eventually decided to get another low respect faction (150k respect) with the aim of warring to get a faction of 1.5m respect range.
4. This took us approximately 9 months of warring with leadership getting no pay from RWs and other members getting ridiculously low pay.
5. Within the 9 months of warring, Bomba contributed really little during the wars always citing being busy with RL stuff which as a family we understood (what's the point of being in a faction that does not care about its members).
6. We finally could buy our current faction after pooling resources in combination with our 9 months war proceeds only for Bomba to sell it without involving us and to rub salt on injury, keeping all the proceeds from the sale.
This just summarizes our pain and what the OP was trying to say.
You only had 9 billion from the value of the faction that I lost while trying to sell it which was rightfully yours. You cannot say that all you spent on the faction from the beginning till the end was 31 billion when from the moment RW was a thing, we started funding the faction from RW proceeds.

Nice guide for new and budding company owners. Tr1ckster's one on one consultations are also really helpful. Looking forward to more engaging conversations as time goes by.
i wonder why newer players keep complaining about breaching the gap between them and older players. For goodness sakes, older players have put in years in the game and some are still putting in the time.
Just play to enjoy yourself and stop bothering about older stronger players.
