Keep slapping those bandaids on the problem

At one time i was thinking they were going to be able to balance this out with contracts. There by making the game kind of boring. Now it looks like the higher the contract the more pugs you get who don't want to play as a team. It might even make it worse the higher your contract goes.

What would you do to balance out the populations between the factions?

[Zeece]

Introduce a reason to be the lesser factions. Fighting on the Liao/Davion boarder

Introduce faction specific equipment/weapons, Mechs.
Stuff like that

Would probably need to make the Mechs, Equipment, Mechs only useable while fighting for faction so people didn't just jump around to get all the mechs

Those stinking no good PUGs. We should just have PGI delete everyone of their accounts and be done with them. Who need dirty stinking PUGS in Online games anyways. The "tryhards" always carry these games anyways right?

Whack...

Hmm.. I didn't realize Marik got a bonus before...

Oh well, must be the space bacon that confused me.

The question on my mind is will this be an inflationary cycle because nobody has the gumption to reduce rewards once parity is reached... or will we end up just increasing the bottom end to catch up and even up?

Faction specific mechs? Everyone would just play Liao then. Cause they make all the cool IS mechs including the thunderbolt

[Ax2Grind]

I think the rewards need to be much higher for low population factions. This is like tossing spare change at someone and thinking it will make a difference.

What about Merc companies who own their own 'mechs?

might help to know what the difference in populations is, but we all know how shy PGI are of showing population

Maybe try something that actually affect the faction population because slightly more c-bills is throwing water in wind and be suprised it comes back at you when nothing changes. Seriously an extra 50k c-bills is nothing in paul economy!

A good suggestion is you know maybe make faction specific content and how about introducing the once PROMISED Mercenaries factions in the game that could balance out the major powers. So right now the Liao is getting wrecked maybe throw a actually increase of c-bills/LP for Wolf Dragoons to defend there territory from the kick ass davions.

I literally put more thought in CW than PGI did with balancing the major house powers.

In staying true to lore, no one cares or notices Marik. We just don't have the 'right' units fighting for or (against us) I guess.
