While some people might be loyal to their factions in terms of lore or personal affection. Those who have been repeatedly complaining both in-game and on the forums about getting Attack/Counter-Attack Matches should switch to a faction with less players.

In order to explain why the Faction with more people usually gets attacks, I've made the following illustration:


While this all puts the faction with more people into an advantage (In terms of Community Warfare-Territorial Gain), it doesn't really help the players of that faction. The cons of being in a big faction (Especially as a pugger) are:

• Longer queue wait times
  
• Turret Matches (waiting 10 minutes just to fight NPC turrets must be fun!)
  
• Less Cbill - Income (From both Turret Matches and Attacking).

In general, when attacking most people are either forced to fight an uphill battle against entrenched defenders or to rush the generators. None of this will give as many Loyalty Points, Experience or C-Bills as when Defending. In addition, PGI recently gave House Liao, Clan Smoke Jaguar and Clan Jade Falcon a small income bonus to encourage people to join minority Factions.





So if you are worried about personal gains during community warfare or do not want to play Attack all time, I would suggest that you join a faction with less people.

This sounds appealing. How do you commie ******** feel about pirates living within your borders? Is the beer good? Are there good parties?

I know! If you can Shoot Yellow, you can GET PAID. Yes. Yes, but if you want to organize more, that's cool.

It's really not about organizations. You can organize all you want, but if you are outnumbered, you will just get overwhelmed on Community Warfare.

Jade Falcon or Liao. Hmmmm, either way it will be good to be green for a week...

I was talking about organizing a party. We can always use more parties.

Seen situation at FRR and Liao, and I could say that I have not had any big problems getting matches on those factions. Half week at Davion were most frustrating time to get matches quick or at all. So joining in minor faction has this benefit also.

And bonuses at Liao are nice too. Getting 500k - 1000k from a match and then getting 150k bonus over that is like printing c-bills.

Yes and liao would certainly need a playerboost.

Well there's that, and there's the fact that you don't gain anything yet from holding a planet. Shifting to other factions, get to know their communities certainly is a good thing. You can still decide where you want to stay afterwards, when CW is complete.
