Isn't that how the middle ages were? Cities had huge walls and rang bells when raiders would come so that civilians could run and hide behind their city walls or under ground for protection. If you want to look at it from a RP perspective roaming bandits and barbarians that cared nothing for politics and were all about treasure, blood-lust and glory through victory were and still to this day are part of our history and should not be ignored, just take a look at the vikings from our past.

Who is anyone to say that you cannot role play a certain way as long as it follows the massivecraft rules? What one person's role playing character may seem despicable to another is seen successful.

 

I'm not suggesting all factions should behave in any specific manner, but I understand and appreciate those factions that role play with a more aggressive play style than what some might like. I think it brings a nice diversity to the game, and keeps things exciting with risk and reward around every corner.
