Cool idea for factions in destiny 2

I was thinking about some things that I think could be improved in destiny for destiny 2, and that's when I came up with a pretty cool thin I think Bungie should put in destiny 2 that would build upon the faction you choose, such as the Future War Cult, Dead Orbit, or New Monarchy. To start, each faction would have it's in social space, similar to the tower and the reef, and it would have theming based on the faction, different vendors that would have different faction related items, such as emblems, shaders, armor, weapons, ships, sparrows, bounties, and faction specific missions. In addition, there would be various activities to do, like lounges where you can go to hang out, rooms that contain the faction's leaders, and a marketplace. In order to get into a faction's social space, you would need to first join that faction. In order to join a faction I think you would need to complete a relatively simple quest line that is specific to that faction, and would involve one or two missions, and possibly reaching a specified goal in the crucible. As a reward for completing the quest you get to join, and choose a reward, such as a faction specific weapon. When you are a part of a faction it would display that faction's symbol next to your name on the roster of whatever you're currently doing. In order to join a second faction, you would need to leave your current faction and do that new faction's quest line, unless you have already done it, in which case you can just rejoin by spending a bit of glimmer. Another thing that should be in the game is some sort of faction specific exotic weapon, which would basically go with the play style that faction represents, and supports in the crucible and PVE. The biggest change that I think should be implemented in the game related to factions, aside from social spaces, is a new gamemode in PVP, possibly called Faction War. In this game mode you would basically battle on a team of people from the same faction in a playlist of multiple game modes, however instead of two teams at once it would be 3 teams of either 3 or 6, and would be on bigger maps if it is the 6v6v6 version. The gamemode would be available on Friday and Saturday, and whichever faction has the most overall wins would gain some sort of boost until the weekly reset, such as a sale on the cost of gear for that faction, a legendary mark bonus, telemetries, or crafting materials. There would be no weapon or armor rewards though because that may make the gamemode extremely explorative. This would be in addition to some faction theming in the tower until the weekly reset. At the end of the month, whichever faction has the most wins for the whole month would also get some sort of shader or emblem that would be exclusive for that month to show off your status. Also, the top 100 players in the crucible that competed in the competition, even if their faction did not win, will get some sort of reward. I really do think these additions to the way faction work in destiny could really improve the game, and add to it's longevity, replayablity, number of players, and enjoyability. If you have anything to add to this, please do say so and I'll update this post if it sounds like a cool idea.
