There is depth in their conflict, that goes beyond the normal range of other faction based games. On Atys an entire world was designed around conflicting principles. Somewhat like the movie Princess Monomoke the sides are destined to fight, there can not be balance, there must be conflict.

And the more faction determines what you can do and where you can do it, the more strife and grief will develop, with people trying to ensure that their faction is the upper dog and the other utterly destroyed.
In the end there'd be nowhere to go and not get harassed for being in one faction or the other.
I've seen it countless times in other mmos, and one of the reasons I came here was to get away from that.
