Alrighty. We, 0RCS, a squad in battle in a FW game. What the French (WTF) had three squads -- one squad on our side and two on the other. All of WTF's squads fought hard (on both sides) and there was no evidence of collusion or sabotage but it did make me consider the potential issues of allowing a corporation to sign up on both sides of a FW battle.

Honestly, I'd love to see actual faction standings as in EVE. You keep hiring on to one side long enough (or playing both sides), sooner or later a faction would see you as an enemy. While I don't expect it to go this far, I still would like to see corps restricted to choosing one side or another in any FW match. Having squads from the same corp on both sides is silly, but worse, can and likely will result in exploitation.

Again, WTF played hard on both sides and I'm not suggesting they did anything wrong, only that the ability to do what they did will almost assuredly result in shenanigans by corps sooner rather than later.

My corp syncs into battles all the time. There isn't any sabotage. It's good fun and sometimes good training to go against your corp mates.

If you had WTF on your side, you should be happy. They are great players

You clearly missed the point of the post. First, it's faction warfare I am referring to. It's not really queue synching. You simply squad up and choose a side. Have enough people you can fill up the whole battle with just your corp if you are quick enough.

Also, I said exactly what you said at the end. I love playing with WTF and against them, too. They in no way took advantage of the fact they had people on both sides. Both sides of WTF fought hard. The concern is for the less 'honorable' corps that will abuse the ability to join both sides, especially since these are battles that have repercussions.

I see your point, Corperations on both sides being able to sway the outcome of the battle into the favour of the Eve pilots for ISK donations. Its a legit tactic and will be abused in future unless CCP look at the possible options for stopping this.

It all depends on how much this can affect FW in Eve, if it can change the tide of a battle and the Eve collective find out about it the repercussions could be interesting. I hear Eve players dont like DUST much already, just think how p*ssed they will be when they find out we could exploit FW and change the out come of te battle and choose who will win.

(Highest bidder usually) ok your right.i just played a game with 8 one arm bandits on the attacker side and 7 one arm bandits on the defender side which I was on,we lost bad because the 7 one arm bandits on my sde stayed in the mcc and when I ask what they are doing they replied,helping our team win by farming. that's not fair will ccp fix this or just lose a lot more players and money. the 7 on my team did nothing at all but informed them were the 8 of use was at and what we were going for.
