-1, at the moment it adds plenty of passive RP on the server during the down time. There is also plenty of potential for the faction if done correctly but there does seem a clear lack of motivation which feels like a server wide issue, in my opinion, at the moment. I also don't think just removing it solves anything. It just creates an RP void that won't get filled and there is less overall RP.
I am not aware but was there a revision proposed internally with BHs? Going to straight removal suggestion appears, from the outside perspective, as giving up.
