ez. in past BBS was 1)most skilled and 2)honorable faction. now only skilled.. sometimes. Anyway they are losing main of two in my opinion.
As far as I can remember BBS was never really a honorable faction but that depends largely on your definition of the word (back in 2010 Monero would be camping New Reno WM, killing lvl1 bluesuits who were trying to complete a quest just for the sheer pleasure of ruining their day). Maybe less backstab-ish, there were many instances where BBS would start TC even tho they knew two other big teams were waiting on WM (The Rogues were also pretty cool in this respect). SoT were always the notorious backstabbers. Tho every major PvP faction in the FOnline history played to win and did everything that wasn't clearly prohibited (fast relog
wave fighting and such). The only factions/players I would call outright dishonorable are those known for entering locations just to grab loot and gtfo, valuing stuff over a good pew pew and then fapping in tent over it -- even backstabbing is better than that.
