When making a character we should be able to see a quick statistic of how many classes populate the server, to encourage balance. Last time I played empire there was waay too many spell casters and RvR was near impossible
For example, So you can easily if there an overabundance of tanks or little healers.

Order needs more tanks and slayers
Destro needs more healers

Does not matter how many healers, dps or tanks are running around on the server, all are fodder vs any organised group or warband.

This sounds like an awesome idea. Let us know when you have it coded

Can we get a population lock? Like if destro has more than 10% in T4, no more can join / login? There are times where it is 20%+

Number of people logged in is not the same number of people out in the lakes fighting.

Not true at all. There is a correlation to the amount of users logged in to Tier 2 to the Lakes. When tier 2 is 60/40 split that is when you see 400 order vs 600/700 destro. Happens all the time. A lock would prevent the people from riding the zerg.

Dont worry, it hasn't changed for Order. There are too many non-melee classes.

I think extending the faction lockout to 2h and make it refresh when you enter/are in/leave an RvR area. To many times, to matter which side, a push gets crushed then 10-20m later theres 50+ more on the opposing faction that swapped off one character to another.
To OP. The question is asked so often if you look on the forums for like 5m theres a post about it u can find. Feel like it would be a pita to implement especially since many people have multiple characters. I have 6 on each side, tank heal, and dps.
