Not interested.
CCP has bastardized FW more than enough, taking the loyalty factor our of the game entirely and continuing to use mechanics that are game breaking and not in keeping with the FW pendulum swings model.
To a Texan like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Gunlogi.

CCP needs to fix it where if a district is won, the enemy faction doesn't immediately auto attack it...IE district timers.
FW is not profitable without player market. I lost 20 mil within 7 days of the new FW changes.
I can win all of my matches only to pull up the star map and see I've made ZERO difference.
The Amarr can burn for all I care, I'm reclaiming those in pubs and striking the fear of the Amarr in those poor souls.
Yeah I know you don't mean that but it does get tired to see the hard work of a few people utterly negated by the absolute worst of the worst not knowing to select factions, a whole community of good players queing for two factions meaning that the remaining newb players are shifted into those waning two factions....
A system that means when one side takes even slightly more systems than another it requires a monumental struggle to escape that, and a system that is so broken in Dust it means two factions in the larger game have a permanent FW bonus.
Yeah CCP thought this one out poorly. Why even bother to have FW if you factions are so unappealing to the consoler audience that they are never supported, why bother with loyalty if CCP insists on enforcing us as mercenaries or where there are no repercussions of limits of who you fight for?
FW is bastardised, it was good in 1.6 where people fought in it for loyalties sake and the corps who were there gave us good clean and even fights.
Now that it is so highly populated you get the worst scum in the world fighting for the Min and Gallente, farming the hell out of games so easy I AFK through them, and then claiming it requires skill or hard work, lag inducing equipment spammers who just want to sit on the objective while you teleport through walls, and squads of suiciding idiots (not that I have seen them) ruining what little close games could exists.
CCP needs to look at FW because currently it is so disparate between FW support groups that it makes it impossible to have good competition. Its not like EVE where High Sec corps mine and PvE, and massive alliances play Null Sec PC and sovereignty games...... and FW is a nice for smaller allainces and loyalists.
I mean Aero, Aisha, and I love FW its what we are known for in Dust. Amarr FW..... whats the point when not matter how much we struggle, no matter how much we Que Sync, win, the blue dots in 5 other games are losing because they are terrible.

AWOX'ing (i.e. AFK for the opposing factions or suiciding) is another concern, but baby steps. Turning off all Factions from the default is a great idea, actively choosing a Faction places more emphasis on the choice. Though it has been suggested (Aero, Adamance, and Aisha) that Faction write ups don't make the Cal or Amarr look all that appealing. (I don't see how the Gal are all that appealing either, but that is all a matter of perception) AWOX'ing is actually pretty easy to deal with, I've yet to encounter any really effective measures being used. And I have not implemented my own plans becauseGǪ really i would feel bad with the current state of things.
Its all in the syntax and language used. I am a firm believer in the power of he written word and that slightest of inflections can change the whole meaning of a sentence
E.G
The Amarr Empress rules the largest and oldest of the four empires, a vast theocracy supported by Minmatar slave labor. Amarrian citizens tend to be highly educated and fervently believe that slavery is but one step on a spiritual path toward fully embracing faith. Despite several recent setbacks, the Amarr Empire is the most stable nation and most powerful military in New Eden. Allied to the Caldari State, they wish to reclaim the Minmatar Republic.
Stronghold of liberty, the Gallente Federation is the only true democracy in New Eden, its diverse population producing some of the most progressive minds of the era. Pioneers of artificial intelligence, the Federation once relied on drone fleets to defend its borders and beliefs. Today, some of the bravest men and women in New Eden man Gallentean starships. The Gallente are allied with the Minmatar Republic and fight viciously against the Caldari State.
Now look at the words high lighted. The gallente are what they are a democracy, just as the Amarr are what they are a Theocracy....
But the focuses of the two paragaphs paint two vastly different pictures. The Amarr have their religious natures focuses on, however they also get the word fervent in their description which would imply that they are bordering of fanatics, they also have the natures of their slavery poorly elaborated and simply thrown in, CCP being from a European country should know the value of the word slavery and how negative the connotations associated with it are.
Contrary to this the gallente are painted and I quote as the "stronghold of liberty" they are progressive minds" and the "bravest men and women in New Eden". There is no mention of their rather hardline and aggressive imperial dreams, their disregard of the Intaki and actions towards the Caldari, where are the accounts of corruption within the Federation, the ****, torture, and drug use?
Two very similar factions in terms of scale and purpose but separated vastly by poor choice of words when describing them.
