Well the good news is - guilds can only take 2 nodes, so can't have EVERYTHING - they have to decide which they are going for and be smart about it. That definitely gives us opportunity to take other nodes.

Indeed - we don't want to CLOSE the faction until we have the dedicated/active players to do so. Unfortunately, we continue to bleed off the top-end because this is taking "too long". We need to get 15-20 more folks in whom stick with the faction and support the game, and we should be good. We are okay now to try for some of the smaller nodes; we likely won't run into any of the top-tier guilds there anyway. From our past engagements, KGB folks typically can put down 3-5 to 1 odds (unless they are exceptionally geared and organized).
