Faction lock was hated by some, but clearly this was needed.
Why would you want to split an already declining player base on a Troll'esque campaign like a new non-faction lock 30 day campaign? Faction lock was hated by some, but clearly this was needed.
Didn't consoles just get the update? If so suggesting new ideas so soon is far to early.
You also have to keep in mind that the new zone hasn't even been out a week and players are probably still messing around in it.
