Implement Factions system allowing players to join different lore-related npc factions and add dramatically more life and dynamic to the game!
Each faction has neutral (white), friendly (green) or hostile (red) attitude towards all other factions and that changes from faction to faction, for example: you join the Separatists and they become green to you, no longer hostile but instead, krytan royal soldiers, guards etc. become red and hostile, they will attack you on sight just like Separatists do now.
That would apply in cities too, simply if you hate that wax doll called Jennah, you won’t step your foot within Divinity’s Reach, unless you want to slaughter guards and you might prefere to go to Ebonhawke Stronghold instead as your city of operations. Or if you share a belief with Ascalonians that charrs mean only war and threat to human freedom, you can join Ghosts of Ascalon faction and side with the ascalonian soldiers against ALL charr on every map in every city! HOW LIVELY and dynamic!
Simply players feel close to different sides of the story, so give them a tool to express that! Not everyone loves Kryta and their grasslands or finds Ebonhawke pact perfect and rightful, some would love to side with the Charr and others with Zaithan. Letting everyone join a side of his own choice in form of Factions would HUGELY increase the valors of the gameplay, finally bringing some real dynamic that’s very missing now. It would make the game more popular as well and bring you customers, simple as that, because no other mmo has it pretty much. Besides, wich other game’s lore suits factions better than GW2 lore? None! That’s right.
To fellow players: if you’re one of the status quo defenders and are going to explain me in details why it’s of course a pointless and ridiculous idea because there’s only good the way it is already and you’re going to fight every idea of a change, don’t even bother. Guess what, life is a flow, a movement and a constant change. Standing still = death.
