Fair enough, you can say things like becoming a world class infiltrator require a lot of effort, sacrifice and all that,
No, just lots of gold and hours at the academy.
Why shouldn't just anybody have the chance to get some dubious claim to a region recognised? Or is that our punishment for not being 'ambitious' enough?
Because if everyone can do something, then it stops being a meaningful achievement. There need to be things in the game that not everyone can do. Or that take a significant amount of effort to achieve.
I'm not saying that this particular feature should be one of those things. I'm saying that the argument of "Why should we have a feature that not everyone can use" simply doesn't hold water.
