Three faction split - FL resolution

There was a similar problem in pvp a while back for a different mmo i won't bother to name.

The solution was as simple as adjusting the "lore" so that the battlefield was now a "Training Simulation" or something of that nature.

It doesn't have to be Shakespeare, just make up some quick crap so that gameplay can be better.

This, to me, is even more important to this mmo because it would help offset the natural bias towards certain classes that the different GC's tend to have for the most part.

Our battle is more full of names than yours,
Our men more perfect in the use of arms,
Our armour all as strong, our cause the best;
Then reason will our hearts should be as good.

The GC locked queuing sucks all around. Longer queues for whatever GC has the highest proportion of experienced players at any time; a frustrating experience with faster queues for whichever GC has the least but which makes the better players not want to queue up after losses far outside their control. At this point I get fast queues in Adder, and I'm rank 45 already so I could just join and soak up more Wolfmarks by queueing fast mult times and getting a high probability of second than queueing for a long time for a higher chance of a win but that's not fun for me. And no way in hell am I changing GC now and losing the ability to equip my i100/i110 PVP gear until I rank up again with the DF waiting that entails, I worked too hard for that.

I'd rather play with people I see all the time than play with randoms every match.

No thanks on the no-GC thing.

It's like none of you people PVP for the PVP, just for the bonuses at the end of the match.

The only change they should really make is to make AP and gear requirements go off your highest Rank, not your current Rank. Meaning you can switch Grand Company without issue and after your first R45 it's solely about Achievement/Title farming. Got to Rank 40 with the Immortal Flames but all your friends are in Maelstrom and you don't want to lose your progress? No problem. Rank 41 will take an age to reach (unless you switch back), but at least in the meantime you can still use your i100 equipment and retain your AP.

People can dismiss the atmosphere of Company verses Company if they like, but it enhances plenty of peoples gameplay. They should enhance that aspect further rather than removing it outright, make it a substantial thing rather than a novelty. The bigger problem is SE is plainly inept at handling PvP content. Frontlines was released back in 2.3 and it's taking them until 2.5 to simply add new game modes? In that time I'd expect new maps ffs, and that mentions nothing of Wolves' Den and there utter lack of ability to address it in the slightest. Perhaps if PVP wasn't obviously on the bottom of their list of priorities more people would actually bother with it, instead we're stuck with random 90ks for months on end.
