I think keeping faction imbalance in the game for these reasons are pretty selfish.

If one of the goals for dropping the faction walls is to reduce queue times, I think the potential danger of something like this is it effectively creates an additional queue. Now you have some people queuing as Exile Only, some as Dominion Only, and some as CoGs. CoGs can group with Dominion or Exile, but only if all of the CoGs are either Dominion or Exiles themselves. You could have 3 CoGs and 2 Dominion in queue for a dungeon, but the group won't form if one of the CoGs is an Exile. And if the group finder's priority is to create groups as fast as possible, Exiles and Dominions would most likely get shoved to the side as it'd be much easier to put together CoGs groups than it would to match up the right combination of CoGs with Exile or Dominion. Really, I think the end result of that would be something very similar to what we saw with practice battlegrounds. Given the choice, most players are going to get in line for the fastest queue and completely abandon the slower ones. I would place money on the Dominion and Exile queues becoming impossibly long due to something like this.

I don't like the aurin, I don't really understand why so many people choose them, one of the reasons I don't play eastern MMOs is that every one of them has these furry races, in fact I was hesitating about playing WS in the first place because of the aestetics. But this aurin angst you people have is just mind boggling. Why do you even care so much what other people play with...? If only there were racial abilities and aurin were OP, but no, it is merely a skin they are having. Like an armor skin. In fact, in a full-covering body armor, aurin and draken look quite similar...

Lol player hatred goes beyond simply disliking a race for their aesthetics. I hate the aurin mostly because they are a huge reason for the faction imbalance. The factions will never be even with aurin. Oh and their lore.

their lore is one thing, but the fact that everyone plays them and that they are a huge factor for the faction imbalance to begin with makes me hate them more. Like it or not, the races are possibly the largest factor influencing what faction the average player chooses. If carbine gave the Dominion a cutesy race to compensate then perhaps it wouldn't be as big of a deal. The fact is that the factions will always be seen a restriction rather than good thing for the game, and that largely in part due to the poor balance. And really, by your logic, why do you care what I think? If people are allowed to like whatever they want, then surely they can dislike whatever they want too. You caring about what I dislike is no different than me caring what someone else likes. In fact I don't care if people hate chua (for example), as people can like or dislike anything. That's their preference. I have already said that despite my hatred for aurin that I would be willing to have the faction barriers changed for the betterment of the game.

Agreed 100%. The imbalance in the game is horrible, I am leveling a Dominion character and the areas are deserted, the city is like no one in there (illium). Wow the imbalance is horrible.

No, this is the faction wall, and its there for a (read: multiple) reasons

Fighting the Eldan ascended (the literal gods of the Dominion) has nothing to do with the factions?

And this is the main point for the majority of the playerbase, if the Dominion or Exiles were an NPC race OR hell, didn't even exist at all, we'd all still be happily playing the game. Even Nazryn would still be happily playing the game if it was like this from launch as the writers would have just given him something else to lore all over and he wouldn't know any better. What came first Naz, your love of your Wildstar faction or your love of story/lore? ;) But the point is. You can keep your lore as none of it needs to change, you can keep your factions, we just want the option for the majority of us who couldn't give two hoots about staying strict to the lore, the option to join the same guilds and join the same queues. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS AT ALL.
