Revanites, the 3rd Faction in the Old Republic

Anybody else getting tired of having to fight the same enemy regardless of whether your a Pub or an Imp.

Bringing Revan back in... and the whole, 'he's attacking both the empire and republic' are merely mechanics to give us, again, one common operation/enemy regardless of faction to clear.

Isn't it about time to tell Revan he's boring and go back to fighting the actual opposition? Or is this pseudo alliance between the republic and empire to be maintained through the whole of the game leading to things like a Sith and a SIS agent getting cozy in a safe house together despite being (supposedly) loyal to their respective factions?

Until EA pulls the plug, I believe it's high-time people get used to the idea.

The war is over and both Republic and Empire will wear themselves down by engaging an ever rising third faction repeatedly. Eventually, once both are out of manpower, resources or both, they'll forget why they were fighting to begin with and merge with one another.

Factions will never be removed. The game is built around them. They'll justify it with story reason ("ongoing tension,," etc.), but they're ingrained in the way the game is structured. Blizzard itself even noted that factions were a bad call, and that there is no good reason they should remain in the game from a lore point of view, but it's simply too much effort to do away with them at this point. Combined with player backlash, it's never going to happen. And if it's too much trouble for the behemoth to tackle, you're kidding yourself if to think BioWare is up to the task.

Don't get me wrong - much love to BioWare for what they've accomplished with SW:TOR. But that's the harsh reality of the situation - they have neither the resources nor the personnel to tackle this, even if they wanted to. EA had them emulate too much of WoW's structure - even the bits that Blizzard admitted weren't working for the game.

Who said they were going to be removed?

The merging part will presumably only happen BEFORE EA pulls the plug, to provide some closure, story wise. Way further down the road hopefully.

I highly doubt that much effort would go into something for no reason. Getting the "plug pulled" is rather ignominious.

Just you all watch.

Instead of expecting a new ops about Revan, which is what BioWare would like everyone to believe, it is going to be a third faction full of Revanites and plunge the galaxy of Star Wars into a three-faction war! We will then be able to decide to defect from our current faction and join together for the greater cause!

HEIL REVAN

...

It'll be a pleasant surprise the day when BioWare attempts something bold. Alright, I'm just gonna get ready for the serious people who always use the budget excuse as to why BioWare couldn't do this and can't do that.

Does anyone else think that it's going down the opposite route of one faction?
Combined ops from this point on against a shared enemy?
