Hey Mike or any other LE dev. 
Would EHG consider enabling CoF/Merchant’s Guild access for offline/legacy characters in a future patch? That would open up so many build testing options for the community.
What do you mean? You can already join CoF or MG offline and in legacy (even though you’ll get nothing from MG so there’s really no point).
The point for MG in Offline is to self-nerf drops
You get the exact same drops if you join MG or don’t join a faction at all. So why go the extra step? 
They could add next faction for people who like challange with negative stats to char, drops, enviroment etc. So if you would like something harder from the beggining, you will have it

That would make more sense as a game mode (like hardcore/ssf) than as a faction, tbh.
It would be nice if you could have custom settings for your character creation, like increased mob damage/health/speed, reduced drops, etc. Where you start at baseline, but can make it harder on yourself all you want.
