One knows you're talking out of your ass when you mention Constantinople as a large faction. It wasn't even a faction... And sure Sodom had it's share of assholness but it was the exception rather than the norm. And Sodom never ever raided purely out of boredom.
As for respecting the hue hue factions let's not get ahead of ourselves people just hate them less, same way you can't hate a retarded kid as much as someone actively and efficiently being evil.
