/signed, all my thoughts are in the OP's post.
Plus: RPG should be about advancing your characters, exploring exciting places, having fun with friends or solo if preferred.
Faction system forces ppl to grind inhuman amount of time if you want to hold a big town, well of course there is a chance to just ignore town control and play the game as it is, but that would leave a big part (or at least it was hyped to be big part), of the game alone.
The whole Faction-System should be related to adventuring & battling against the other side, like most of us in PvE want to do.
Not just do repeatable quest after quest after quest after quest after quest.
** We all know though that Anet knows what players think about the system & Anet has even said to re-design Town Control/Faction System somehow (there was couple post from designers in May/June).
**
So don't give up all hope, I'm keeping fingers crossed for some new innovative solutions.
