I've been one since I play this game. Recently with the FP events PGI does it sucks more and more to be a factionalist. It not only got harder to find FP matches, but also QP group games because of the low population especially at certain times. Also rewards seem to be very different for the different factions involved.
Would't it make more sense if PGI got rid of playable factions all together? So everyone only plays as mercs, changing sides between IS and Clan only, with the factions only there for story purposes?
That would put players into only 2 bins, without leaving anyone out. You could still side with Clan or IS and you could in theory participate in faction play and the events all the time.
I believe this would lower the frustration waiting for games or being locked out of events. Also one could allow both sides to use IS and Clan mechs as everyone is merc anyways , just doing service for a certain side.
This would get rid of any unfair advantage and balancing IS vs Clan complaints.
Please discuss.
