Had a weird idea earlier. A Non-CP 7 day server that runs exactly the same way as battlegrounds.
You queue with friends or solo then a finder puts you in whichever alliance has the lowest population.
Simple, could be appealing to many and may help a lot with smoother performance for those that want it.
Obviously many players are faction loyal and/or like to run with guilds but many Cyrods are just mercenaries.
After very little thought on this I see quite a few pros and very little cons so thought I'd put it out there...
