Work needs to be done on the whole faction system. Right now a few larger groups are taking advantage of the faction system to 'game' the system swapping factions in order to pursue a larger agenda. While not against the rules of the game Its really not in the spirit of what CW was intended to represent.

I think choosing a faction duration isn't working and in the release should be adjusted in some way to prevent the faction jumping that we are seeing right now -- most specifically in regards to the clans who, according to cannon, are held to a much higher moral and cultural standard than Inner-sphere citizens.

One thing I thought might work is having a regularly scheduled 'Moving Day' rather then choosing the length of service and, having a true merc faction that can defend anywhere in IS but not initiate any attacks. (don't know if this is a good or bad idea just putting it out there)

Problem I see is that in the future you are going to inevitably end-up with a bunch of jerks trying to poison the game for the rest of the players in the current system.

The groups aren't 'taking advantage' of the faction system any more than a person waiting for an item to be on sale before they buy it. Maybe the faction system is doing exactly what PGI wants it to do? They created a system where changing factions is MUCH more rewarding than staying only with one.

Isn't the real question "What happened to PGI's planned 'Loyalist Life'?"

Bigger question is what happened to the whole presentation done at the launch event?

I can just see the Faction system being abused when it is out of beta.... Right now it's not really abuse its flaw-testing right? none the less I can see it getting way out of hand specially when you factor in alt-accounts.

I'm confused as to the meaning of '..Larger agenda..', can you clarify?

Any agenda larger than the 13 worlds of the FFR.
