That is an interesting perspective. As a solo player, the factions don't really impact your game directly, except to make you jelly on the gear front when your rep is sitting on the low side due to lack of PvP. If you don't mind FFA gametypes, rumble does have New Monarchy events that would allow you to fight solo in PvP. So that may be a way for you to still obtain faction gear while maintaining your lone wolf style. Still its good to see you weigh in at least for philosophical alignment. Thanks for the input.
