In that case, you are not qualified to speak in any discussion comparing the factions - as you didn't even make it off the ship on one of them. Especially as they play a LOT different than they each come across on the ship.

Thats not really true, they only kill what they have to to protect the races.

In other threads i've had suggestions for that too. In organized PVP instead of people that hate each other trying to kill each other PVP is now renamed "wargames". IRL militaries do it where different countries get together and stage mock battles or exercises as they call them and its meant to be a learning tool. In some games similar things have happened like in Star Trek Online two federation ships engage in a mock battle where one ship acts as the aggressor. World PVP you just have fights going on at the personal level. Just cause two countries are at peace doesnt mean its citizens cant get into fights or kill each other...they just wont be able to do those things in the name of their government or homeworld (in Wildstars case). EDIT: also the mechanics arent broken, but ideas like this are meant to address population imbalances...which can happen whether game mechanics, LFG tools and PVP is working flawlessly or not. DOUBLE EDIT: and the mechanic i mentioned from Star Trek Online *was* flimsy yes. But it allowed the devs to create continuing expansion content that worked for both Klingons, Federation and Romulans aligned with either one of them. Instead of them having to create seperate content tailored specifically for each faction.

Well, to start with, they could start, I don't know, PROMOTING it. In trailers, etc. Which they haven't done. Ever. (With the sole exception of Meet The Dominion).

1. The Aurin were harboring galactic terrorists at the time. 2. Grismara had just become a plague-infested hellhole. Quarantine was justified. 3. It's the Grannok's own fault. They just Hated our Freedoms rejected our benevolent offer of Civilization and Order. 4. The filthy rebels have no respect for law and order, and cause destruction wherever they go. It's all perspective. Neither side is clearly evil vs good. It's more like the Dominion is Lawful Neutral, and the Exiles are Chaotic Neutral. The promo material is pretty clear that Exiles are the good guys though, down to showing the Dominion in a sinister red fog. I can't blame anyone for misunderstanding things when that's how they've been shown in all the official promos. PS. I'm leveling an Aurin, just in case the population doesn't even out enough when the servers re-merge. /cry.

2 factions that want each other dead .... no. The vast majority of MMO's don't have factions working together, it's always been like this. Is this your first MMO?

Really it's more just the fact that the Exiles have dirty anime cat people.

New races. A new race for each side. I don't know how people are so against that.

You mean more biased lore?

You are simply delusional if you think it isnt at least A reason. All you ever see from the exiles are Aurin, from the forums and in game. There's always a thread about how unforunate it is that Aurin cant be certain classes, etc. It would not surprise me in the slightest if Aurin are the number one reason people play Exiles. Dirt anime cat people.

There was a strawpoll run on reddit not long ago, that suggested on the PvE servers it's around 60/40 exile/dommie, and on the PvP servers the situation is reversed. While that isn't a solid cross-section of the community, it's a reasonable starting point
