If that's your reasoning, than you should be banning everyone since by faction isn't a "all consuming hive mind"...  They're more nuanced than that.

My guys don't just exist for mindless consumption and expansion.  They're more interesting than that.  By far.

For one they can be allied with and manipulated into fighting your wars for you.

Let me quote your post on the first page:

<Snipped quote by Alfhedil>

Being able to mold impossible life forms and terraform worlds into places for massive mind totem things that go into space (like giant, organic space elevators I suppose).

They also may cause perversions of the mind to those that observe certain specimens of Anvyat.  

They aren't all consuming beings, they just don't really seem to notice when their actions are killing millions of people.

That last sentence in particular should be looked at.
