So if I want to be a bad-ass logi and run an uplink, a needle and a repper, I need to farm LP across 3 different factions, right?
Why not, say, allow people to SELL the faction items they are farming to other mercs via a player market, hmmm?
Also.... If I play a match for Team A, I get 75 points for team A and -15 for Team B. Next, I cue up a match for Team B, get 75 points for B and -15 for Team A.
As long as I keep alternating between the two factions, I get a net 60 point gain, per faction, every two matches.
Won't this discourage people aligning for one faction, when it makes more sense to multi-faction?
Further, will there be associated faction standing impacts? Doing a match for Gallente will boost Gallente and minmitar to a lesser degree, while dropping both Caldari and Amarr standings.... or is it just a simple one for one?

Note:
The DUST economy is a closed system.
An ISK Faucet adds money into the system, while an ISK Sink removes money from the system.
Part of the reason you see people proto-stomping in pub matches is because there is so much money in the system. Removing money (but keeping FW rewarding) will allow for a significant amount of ISK to leave the system (an ISK sink), while keeping standard PUB matches as the ISK faucet.
This will take a while to balance out, but what I hope will happen is that more serious players will go proto in FW, while using pub matches to farm the ISK they need in order to buy their suits for FW matches.
The next step involves a player market... so that LP gear bought with the proceeds of FW matches can be sold on the market for pure ISK, helping the FW-warriors fund their FW matches without adding an extra ISK faucet to the system.
Now... the real question becomes... when will DUST players be able to create buy/sell orders on a player market?
