I often hear about people wanting to PvP with a friend but being incapable of doing so because of GC restrictions. Why not just switch GCs?
It's really nerdy but for me my GC is kind of like my identity, I picked it for personal reasons. For most of my friends that don't get much time to play, it's a lot of busywork to do for a restriction that only really seems to exist for lore reasons. It's just kind of terrible to push the companies as this big important personal choice and then feel forced to be somewhere you don't want to or maybe don't even like.

I was really excited when the Crystal Braves showed up because I thought it meant that the companies would end up allying and it would give them a lore reason to rework the PVP, but I'm sure most players know what happened there lol
