I look for matches like yours. I want all Lyrans in IS Mechs facing Clan Omnis, but that just ain't how this game is stacking up, so far.
I just don't see that happening Joe. Sure they'll have clan players who join an actual clan faction but as far as not having clan mechs on the IS side of things? I don't see it happening.
Player A spends $500 on a gold mech
Player A is an IS faction pilot
Do you really think Player A is going to be ok with being told anything along the lines of "You can't use that $500 mech in battles unless you either, leave your IS faction or use private matches"?
It's just not going to happen. Some seem to think otherwise but realistically I just don't see PGI being able to do that. If they did, I suspect there would be more than a few "refund" threads and actual refunds called for. PGI isn't going to set itself up for that
