And yes I agree with the OP that its frustrating when the two out-poped factions fail to see the advantage of giving their full attention to the highest pop faction, this always occurred in PS1 and acted as a natural balancing check, this doesn't seem to have happened in PS2, player behavior may change in time as more outfits get established and can push their members towards objective play as apposed to 100% farming for certs.

TR is overpopulated in Waterson (Yesterday they got 47% pop after winning an alert and we still kept fighting them). You wont' see anyone begging players to fight the TR. NC naturally gravitates against the TR and vice versa.
Two days ago we lost a 3 continent Tech Plant alert. NC was leading with 4 the last 15 minutes. Do you know what happened? TR and NC was obliterating each other in the western Tech plant which NC holds. What's the Vanu doing? Vanu is capping an empty Mekala Tech plant with a full platoon. TR has about 42% Pop and NC about 36% in the Amerish continent.
We eventually lost both the last 15 minutes.
What can you do? TR and NC fights are fun and relatively balanced. So, yeah the OP can keep begging, no matter how good natured the intention is. Players simply follow what's fun for them.
