If the only normal Cyrodiil campaign going forward is Alliance Locked, we need a Mercenary faction

If Grey Host is going to be the only normal Cyrodiil campaign going forward, then we either need to get rid of faction lock or introduce a Mercenary faction where we can join whichever the lowest population faction at the time is.

I have 15 characters with a pretty even split across the alliances. If my only options going forward are to play Vengeance or buy a faction change token to play on a character I'm not faction locked to, I'm just going to stop playing Cyrodiil entirely.

I do not like Vengeance in the slightest. I know I'm not alone in this. I also know that plenty of my guildies and friends have toons on multiple factions as well. Something needs to be done or you are essentially barring a large portion of your playerbase from being able to play Cyrodiil with their friends.

Let us choose to be a Mercenary: if we toggle Mercenary on for that character, anytime you queue for Cyrodiil on that character, you join the faction with the lowest current population. If a workaround like this can't be implemented, then Faction Lock needs to be done away with.

    Tbh I think something like this would be worth considering regardless of how many and what kind of campaigns are running. Lots of specifics to iron out, but I do not doubt there are plenty of people who would be happy to play the part.
    Please stop making requests for game features. ZOS have enough bad ideas as it is!

    Faction lock needs to be by character not account. Or done away with entirely. Or 2 instances. Those are the options otherwise you'll kill it.
