The main point is thatMany people are asking why is showing your loyaly to the Imperial Faction so hard? WE cant even show our support in our own homes.Well now I have to hope Victor looses and the win the folowing month. Dam nand after I worked so hard to get him to win.
I wont do the PM thing though a few months ago I suggested it and I was threatened with being banned for inciting poeple to psam the devs. So I learned my leason.
Maybe the banner with be aloot in JTL I can onyl hope because it seems thats the only way I will ever get one, sicne i dont have millions to spend.

I don't care about any other rewards really. A banner is a banner. If rebels get it in there themepark, Imperials should get it in their themepark. There's no feasible reason that Imperial banners should be so extremely rare when rebels are swimming in there's.
Then i guess if imps get expensive suits, painting, artifact easily by doing missions then rebs should get the equivilent?
no, your reasoning is wrong. Imps should get more cause they need stuff to lure people to increase their population. The banner is the only perk to being a reb other than being a reb (which most people seem to want toroleplay the 'good guy').
its dumb to say "rebs get their banner with a simple mission so why shouldn't we?" Your argument shouldn't be a comparison to what rebs get because thats a losing argument and thats where your argument faulters.
and if you wanna make a big deal about continuity in this game then thats another losing argument. I agree every imp should have access to thier banner but you can just add that to the laundry list. Im not saying you shouldn't try, just that your going about it the wrong way.

Speaking as a Rebel, I'd be more than happy with that. BTW, I agree that it would make sense for the Imperial bannerto be more common ... butthis is the same game where it's impossible to make an ordinaryrug without having to slaughter a number of people equivalent to the population of Belgium to lootbits of threadand glue off their corpses (*pant* rant over).

The problem is, you don't have Imperials and neutrals preventing you from getting your banner. If you want to get technical, the rebel banner should be harder to get than the Imperial banner, simply because no rebel in their right mind would ever display their faction loyalty in such a bold way, as it would bring unwanted attention from the Empire.
I'm fine with rebels in game having a fairly easy way of getting their banner, but the Imperials should also have a farily easy way to get their banner. And I'm all for them adding helmets to the flightsuits and adding a rebel ensign helmet, as well. So, maybe we can strike a collective bargain: You rebels push for Imps to get our banners, and us Imps will push for you rebels to get your helmets. Deal?
Since when does anything done by SOE make sense? But one idea would be allowone morethemeparkreset and make the Imperial banner the reward given by either Vader or the Emperor (c'mon a crappy 2-handed sword for service? that's a slap in the face) 
And don't make it rely on percentages, just make it the only quest reward they give: IMHO the fairest solution. Yes you'll have to do a tedious theme park one more time , but at least the reward would be worth it, instead of relying on random chance in some election that 80% of the SWG playerbase could really care less about (at least that how it seems on my servers)....
Another idea is, like the Imp PSG schem and Lytus artifact, make it the quest reward for an Imp NPC. If it was put on Dant or Tat, there would even be the quest reset factor allowing someone to get 2. For this to work "fairly" however, the planetary record keepers should be reset again for everyone (they did the XP reset with Jedi, how hard can it be?)
That's my idea of a push for Imp banners, at least making it some effort to get them, and keeping some sort of rarity factor. BTW yes I am a Rebel with -5000 Imp Faction (but I did do the Imp themepark 2x before I converted)so I would never be in the running, but it's just an idea 
Just my 2 creds...
oh yeah, and a BIG 5*'s for the original post 
the SOE motto:" If it ain't Jedi....don't fix it"
