== Content ==
			I see paid server changes on the Ncoin marketplace, but is there a faction change anywhere? Played as Dominion from closed beta to 3 months after launch. Now I'm back and am playing Exile and I'd like to switch my 50 warrior to Exile if possible. Is this even an option?

			It's not currently possible, and I imagine it won't be for quite some time (if ever).  would take a lot of work and coding, and I'm not sure if it's on the top of their list ATM to work on.

			If that is an indicator of the average person's reason for switching factions (Dominion to Exile) then perhaps it's best we don't have faction change.

Wouldn't be against it necessarily, but I'm iffy on faction change in Wildstar simply because of the hard faction wall for PvE. PvP I'm not too concerned about in this regard though. 
 
I mean it could be beneficial, but it could also be harmful, but never know how that'll turn out. It'd have to be two way though regardless though since one way tends to bring some bad results usually.

I don't see anything wrong with your reason for wanting to faction swap this character (I mean, you're already playing Exile anyway). But I think opening the gate for large population migration is a tricky subject with WS... from what I understand it basically killed the PVP servers last year. And Dominion is the underdog faction and has struggled with population in the past... going through that again would not be good for us.
 
Again, it's not that your situation represents the bad side to this. It's more that if Carbine were to allow you, they'd have to allow everyone (obviously) and then there could be real trouble for the Dominion. :(

I want this too but I actually want to transfer to the Dominion. I have 2 Lv50 characters, who are both Exiles, but after coming back for F2P I began to enjoy the Dominion side much more than the Exile side. I like Illium far more than Thayd, (even if I get lost a lot there and can never remember where to find the Enigma Chamber) and the Dominion NPCs are much more likeable IMO. The Dominion also feel like the more evil side to me and, as all but one of my 5 characters are based off villains, the Dominion is a much better fit for me.
 
Please make it happen, Carbine. My Exiles are desperate to join the Dominion.

What does this even mean? What other reason would someone have for changing factions? Also how does it affect your experience if someone else changes faction? At most it'd get more money for a dying game from customers like me who will NEVER pay cash for silly things like mounts and pets. I'm a husband and father of two with a full time job. My play time is very limited. Much more so than my cash. What harm is there in switching factions on a toon I invested the time in when I don't neccessarily have the time to level another?
