No to Auto-Join. Rally your Faction and earn your spot.
Why's it only Elyos discussing this "problem"?
The root cause is a lack of rivalry among top Elyos, given how ridiculous faction imbalances are on EU servers. Why should top Elyos players want anyone else to join and share their spoils? Demanding that rewards be made available to all or pushing for increased rewards is a foolish ask. Drops from Adad and Agent need a cut, leaving only quests.
And Galeas dodges the inquiry...
Gameforge clearly couldn't care less about game balance.
This is even evident in world boss systems [...]
There's a complete disinterest in achieving faction balance (no incentives have ever been offered, like grants to motivate players to join weaker factions). Other servers gifted like 100 free race transfers and extras (I would love if every Asmo got a daily xform candy that expired in like 4hrs of use) plus added AP, enchants, and the like.
Transformations and collections are all farcical anyway, hiding behind a rigged pseudo-gambling structure.

Honestly, forget the disappointment of Gameforge. Aion Riftshade is on the horizon, and it shines with its promise of balanced factions and engaging gameplay. I've had the privilege of experiencing its beta and the seamless integration of features like server-side anticheat and improved PvP events. The devs are active, the servers are secure, and launching in Q1 2026, it’s the real escape for those of us seeking a true Aion experience.
