[Warning incoming Humble Dexterer]

New players invariably turn to Faction Play early, to unlock their first mech bays...

But Faction Play is a hardcore mode filled with ~12-man groups hunting down those Faction Play casuals to extinction.

And usually the Scout Queue is empty, because Faction Play is more rewarding.

Which is why I suggest :
1) Reserve Faction Play to Tier 1 players, since it's so casual unfriendly that it costs MWO new players.
2) But leave Scouting open to all Tiers, so new players can still unlock their first Faction Play mech bays through Scouting.
3) Separating the Scouting queue between the Tier 1 queue and Tier 2/3/4/5 queue is an option, since scouting only requires 4vs4 players. But those Tier 1 players would be better used populating the Tier 1 Faction Queue then trolling the Scouting Queue really.

Basically this would be a promotion : Players get promoted from Scout to Warrior after reaching Tier 1.
