Just make PVP Rank character-specific, not tied to GC.

I was Rank 36 at 2.3 release, asking me to reset my Rank just to be able to play with my friends who were in a different GC is ludicrous.

We should have the freedom to individually be in whatever GC we wish (I only like Maelstrom, my friend only likes Adders, we shouldn't be forced to switch to FL with one another) which leads me to my next point...

Let us queue for FL according to our FC-GC Affiliation (at minimum).

If you're going to restrict us by GC, at least let us queue up according to FC-GC.

This way at least the FC can FL together even if players don't wish to change personal GC.

Such a restrictive system is detrimental to both PVP & Social-Play (hallmark of MMOs).
