That's what Arsha is for.

Suggestions/Comments: Instead of 'War of the Roses' (which is instanced and rng based) come out with factions you can actually join regardless of gearscore or guild rank for open world (non-instanced) PvP. For those that don't like PvP; don't join a faction. You'd only be able to engage in PvP with players of the opposing faction. You'd be able to PvP anywhere outside of towns/cities. So naval PvP along with the surrounding islands. Have guilds work together in the faction to do dailies; kill a certain amount of enemy players in the opposing faction, gather certain items, capture keeps, ect. As you contribute to your faction, you get faction exp (your rank will gradually increase). So your own rank will increase along with the faction as a whole. You earn badges from doing dailies or killing enemy players which in turn you can spend on various items (boss gear, horse gear, dream/mythical materials, cron stones, various gold bars, cadry stones, ect.). The higher your rank the better rewards you get. Have a tier system. You start out by earning bronze badges (max would be gold or platinum). Max tier badges would let you purchase boss gear and a 100g bar. Have a limit to how many boss items you can purchase in a month (maybe 2 or 3). Have the 100g bar maybe be a weekly or monthly purchase. The higher your overall faction rank, the better buffs you can get (for players of that faction). Have a cooldown upon joining/leaving a faction as well as a fee for whenever you join or leave. Your rank would also reset, you'd start at the bottom. To prevent or discourage people from faction hopping. 

This would give players another way to earn gear rather than killing endless mobs for months on end. It would encourage cooperation among players by helping each other in their faction as well as providing an outlet for PvPers rather than just battlegrounds or arenas. The karma system would no longer be necessary. The GvG system would no longer be necessary. Maybe try it out on the Arsha server and make adjustments to it as needed. Then if they can get it to work well and if it becomes popular, add it to the rest of the servers (except for Olvia and Season). The only Season channel it'd be available to would be Season Arsha.

There are three ways you can go about this:

Let Players Choose: But by doing so you risk everyone joining one faction. Penaties for leaving your faction are applied.

Guild Based Random Selection: Have the GM of a guild sign up the guild as a whole to apply to join a faction. The faction would be assigned at random. Have three factions to spread out the playerbase among the factions. Penalties for leaving your faction are applied.

Player (Account) Based Random Selecion: The player would sign up individually (would affect your whole account, all of your characters would be in ONE faction) to join a faction. The faction would then be assigned at random. Have three factions to spread out the playerbase or population among the factions. It'd have a greater chance at being balanced as it would split up powerful guilds and divvy them up between the factions. Penalties for leaving your faction are applied.

Taxation and Penalties for Leaving Your Faction (Any Mode Guild/Player Based): There would be a cooldown period in place after you leave your faction. You have a week before you can reapply to join a faction. You lose your rank (faction) and have to start at the bottom. There'd also be a fee for leaving. The higher your rank, the higher the fee.

Suggestions/Comments: Instead of 'War of the Roses'

You'd only be able to engage in PvP with players of the opposing faction.

How is killing the other faction at any point in time any different from a red player killing someone? You could argue that you can not opt into it but that's the same thing as not going past lvl 49 so you can't be killed open world. If you say people are red just to grief then you're wrong. Most red players are red cause they enjoy the difficulties that come with it.

It's a great idea but it wouldn't work in a game like BDO. ESO has something just like this for Cyrodiil but it also fits into the game because of how the gear and classes are balanced. BDO is all about what class you are and how high your gear is. Also the node war scene is very political and a faction system would turn out the same way. Whatever faction has Cho in it would just dominate all the time. We saw it on War of the Roses. A system like this being added into a 7 year old game seems like too much when they can just improve on systems already in place. Give us the ability to fight over nodes at any time ingame without having to place for it.

Imagine keep fighting the same 5 people over and over again because every1 else on arsha are pve andies that spam you with "NOT INTERESTED" or insults cause u attack them on pvp server 

Your idea completely falls apart with these two points.
