PGI puts the carrot of bonus rewards for certain factions out there. So the mercs, as mercs traditionally do, go to where the rewards are the greatest.
PGI gave them an incentive, and they took it. Just like mercs are supposed to. The designation of “loyalist” to whatever faction is just a temporary one that they will change when they max their current rewards path, get bored, and/or when PGI gives them some other incentive to play in a different manner or under a different title.

Also MS has a bunch of new recruits they're training up so farming mechbays is actually useful to get them into a good dropdeck quickly without making them spend real money if they don't want to.
There is no incentive to be a long term loyalist anymore, especially for IS. Clans at least have 3 new factions so you can park there and be sure that everybody will be getting faction rewards for a while.
I think one of the best things pgi could do short term to improve balance is create a new IS faction or just globally reset all the rewards trees. I mean, the timeline advanced. wipe the slate and let people play for prizes again.

What's so bad about them switching sides? It's a legal maneuver as per game mechanics.

Havent you heard? Loyalist is the new merc! I mean why not. Almost all the real loyalist units qqed when the bukkit came.(Just like we all knew they would), And theres only 1 merc ladder to max out. Any real attempt at distinction between loyalist and merc is comical at this point. Everybody's just farming one meaningless lp ladder or the other.

We play every single day in CW.
Open to all IS to join except for our Unit specific drop nights and let me tell you how much it sucks to have more people wanting to play then open spots. But then just make a couple Scout lances or another 12man...

all these units maxed out the loyalty points for all the factions long ago
so to maximize there loyalty rewards they become FP loyalist for the new factions
they rake in tons of MC/CBs and what not
it also gives them something to shoot for so I don't fault them in that
then afterward since they have so many C-bills they just break there contract and move on
breaking contracts only hurt the small potatoes like me
after 598 days loyal I am only rank 14
its just how things work

The OP is just pissed that mercs are now becoming loyalist lol. Because the game has become so boring, and theres so little to do. That were farming mech bays. Not that we need mechbays at all. Just because were just so damn bored.
Honestly loyalist ladders and contract bonuses are total ********.If they wanted to do this crap right mercs would need to negotiate there contracts with an actual loyalist unit instead of some joke of populatioon numbers.( Cuz we all know pgi got a funny way of counting) and force some human interaction. Witch would lead to people screwing over people. which would lead to chaos and strife, and salt threads on these forums. Which would lead to rivalry. Which would lead to units out to troll the sad ***** thats tried to pull one over on them. Which means more units in drops.
