Man, you are getting everything for free because the devs are incredibly stupid and missed the "everyone on the same side" loophole. You remove this absurdity, everything else crumble. Faction war may be the key of getting everything free, but it's not an intended key, and it can't stay on the long term, because it's 100% absurd.

You can't judge how quick you can unlock content based on that. It's like saying "oh, I can open the dev console and get infinite gem, this game is pretty F2P friendly". Not at all. And just based on how slow everything is unlocked if you are not doing the faction war...
