UNLEASHED
Factions still are a broken system. Throwing pixel crack at it won't fix this issue, and using bait to populate it won't fix what's wrong with factions at it's core.
I've got some ideas though that should help though.
The fact is the publish never addressed the flaws in the faction system, it just tried to polish it up, and we all know you can polish a turd all you want but it's still a turd.

- First off Faction Membership should have an additional restriction based on how many people are in all the other factions. If one gets to many folks then it's closed for recruitment until it's membership is withing {X} amount of others. You don't need scenario's where one faction controls everything all the time solely on the merit of numbers.
- Faction's shouldn't be allowed to combat Non-Faction players and vice versa, nor should it be restricted to Felucca. Want to join a faction fine, your fair game everywhere Tram Fel Tokuno Malas Islhaner everywhere. If you just want to be a PK fine your stuck with just Fel. With the addition of the new artifacts for factions and their potential to imbalance non-faction related PvP this is a logical solution.
- Guilds cannot be in Factions. Your Faction becomes your guild, this gives them an internal chat system (guild chat) and it stops people from being surprised by being in a faction if they haven't logged in for a while. Your Guild Leader goes to join a faction then every member gets a pop up stating as such and asks if they wish to join. Those who click yes lose their guild and become guilded to their faction. Guild Leadership is transferred the senior member that clicks NO to the option of joining a faction. If this would allow the faction to exceed it's membership quota then the first {X} amount can join and guild leadership transfers to the senior most members left.
- Stat Loss shouldn't decay on Non-Felucca Facets or inside a home.
