Every time house get weak, they get big C-Bill bonus on contracts. All mercenary switch to that faction and ghost drop billion worlds, then new house get bonus. Repeat cycle.

but this is mechwarrior online not battle tech, this is a new world that only skirts up next to the old ways, in this world we forge our own lore and make our own rules

Also keep in mind that in 3050 the vast majority of IS units were still stuck in pre-Star League mechs, front line units didn't start getting the 3050 tech read out upgrades until the year 3051 during the clan cease fire when they elected a new Ilkhan, and many units were still sporting 3025 era tech clear into 3057.

True but due to the desire to allow folks to play all types of mechs I doubt this would ever go away.
LOL Tell the players to start a second account... I have!

Just to throw my negative two cents in here......
CW is still in "beta," and I understand that. However, any of you that think PGI is actually going to develop this thing any further than is absolutely necessary to shut up the community are deluded. You simply cannot base predictions of how a company will perform based on empty promises alone. You have to take a look at their previous track record. Whether or not PGI has turned over a new leaf and improved on communication and actual game content is less than conclusive. Historically speaking, no single item has ever been added to this game without being broken upon release....and broken even more with every patch added to it.
I fail to see how CW will be any different than anything else that they've ever released. I enjoy playing it but I'm not expecting anything to change in the near future.
It might very well happen, very soon.......even though the MRBC wasn't founded until 3052. PGI doesn't seem to like the time line the way it was originally written, so who knows? Hell, we might even completely skip Tukayyid and just jump straight to Dark Ages.
And here we thought the Shuttle had gotten everyone off that Island.

I think it is the "refuse" part that needed to be avoided Joe. What if factions just don't take contracts from certain groups because "pick one of some 45, all petty and bs, reasons".
For now, if you/they want in, you/they take a Contract or go play PUG.
When your still in diapers (CW) it is hard to beat just using the K.I.S.S. principle.

Negotiate? OK, while the 2 men at the Top haggle over some bs amount of C-Bills, both Teams, be they small or large, wait and cannot play CW at all...
That is why giving control to the players, for now at least, would be an absolute disaster. Way to many ways for the "******" to shaft those they do not like for "reasons".
Not thanks... at this time.
