PvP how to solve GC restirctions

[Yutsimaki]

After leaving game from hearing a comment so idiotic it made me lose hope, I'm back.

I know these GC restrictions are lore related and they already implemented the achievements. Butttttttttttttttt I was thinking the GC could still be there, but anyone can jump in in any GC!!
Might be complex in code or something but we can just allow players to join any GC side in PvP match, but they will get credit towards the GC they're in. Works for everyone. (Aside from people who can't accept logic and want freedom) I never understood party system, but we just have a separate PvP for free companies. a 36 vs 36 (or 12 vs 12)
I don't know, I'm just desperate to popularize PvP.....

Part of it is the reward system heavily encourages PvP players to concentrate in the strongest GC (for my datacenter, that's Immortal Flames). Lore could be dealt with very easily: mercenaries, lending soldiers in the friendly spirit of cooperating, co-training, etc etc. Dime a dozen.

SE just needs to be convinced to actually do something...

I know one way of solving GC restrictions...

Getting rid of GC restrictions.

Another easy fix is to allow people to queue as either a Grand Company member (What ever company the are currently signed on to) or as a Free Company member (What ever company their FC is registered with) That way, you could always play with your FC mates regardless of what company you belong to.

The would partially solve the "letting people play with their friends" issue, but would do nothing to help queue times.

In a roundabout way, it would slightly improve queue times. Its not going to give everybody 5 min PVP queues, but it would give a better variety of people queueing. If you are part of the flames and your FC is adders, when you queue for a PVP roulette, it could put you in the pool for both companies at the same time and pull you from the faster pot. You could lock yourself into one gc or the other by queueing with a friend/fc mate or by queueing for a specific PVP type.

Please remove restrictions completely or do it by Free Company alignment.

Just seems a bit circumlocutory. They could just add a "frontlines: mercenary" queue that has no GC ties and allows people to queue as a group or solo. Anyone can play together, even if not in the same FC, and we wouldn't have some GCs with ridiculous queue times.

Or any other number of things that have been suggested that effectively remove the restriction.

...On the other hand, circumlocutory is definitely SE's style at times.
