I just want to know how one would avoid the "Everybody who's good fight for this faction" scenario.

That's one of the easiest things to balance with a mercenary system allowing anyone to fight for whoever they want.
As you say, you can be 100% sure not before long everyone will say I.E: "Maelstrom is the best PVP GC"....and people wanting an easy ride will all start joining Maelstrom....and so that GC queues begin to become longer and longer since everyone is trying to fight for one GC.
With a Mercenary system you allow:
- FCs or friends in different GCs can fight alongside.
- GCs balance itself out, when queues become long, the real pvpers will say "srew it, I want to get it" and can join asTwin/Flames mercenaries.
You can make some penalty like....IDK, you cannot get PVP achivements while being a mercenary or something.
Agree with above.
Moment of truth people, here's hoping they sneak this in... I'm gonna hate being disallowed to Frontline with many friends on Patch Day especially if not :/.
