changing faction should cost. press would be so soft cuz those with lost of press wouldnt care. so it should cost a rank. what's ya think?

While we are at it:
Let's start another thread about this topic.
Then another one tomorrow
But of course if people have 3 different accounts on 3 different factions, and always switch to play on the side with numbers, that is perfectly ok and actually encouraged....
For the record DS does not have a "sarcasm" font....

I'm fraction hopper. Been one ever since i was a space cadet. But I make it a rule alway hop on the weaker side, Always.
It's not for any noble reason like 'keeping the balance of the force' or someth'. It's just i find playing on the side with overwhelming force just plain BORING.
and i know there player who NEED to playing for the winning team, but they tend to be not very good anyways....

I faction hop from ICC to UGTO depending on whether or not the computer i am playing on has a numpad
(If only we could bind shields to letters or have a equalize shield power across all shields button *wink,wink*

Oh golly gee. THIS topic again....
Faction hopping, and the associated QQing abt it, would not be a problem if something was done to address it.
Force factional/team balance for unfleeted players, I say.

Should we have a list of "Topic that must not be made (because it goes to nowhere)" ?

no offense to you, but most people are sick of this topic, 'cause it gets discussed again and again. IIRC this is the third time this year such a topic was posted.
Edit: one "time" in that sentence is enough >.<

It's been my experience that people who constantly faction hop are less skilled than people who pick one faction and stick with it, the playstyle is just too different between the 3 to really master them all.
I usually go after hoppers first because they're easy targets.

Not going to happen (:D).
FYI, most likely we'll discuss this topic next dev meeting (or whenever enough senior devs are about).
