The whole Mileena rebellion thing is also pointless since it's completely dissolved by the end of MKX. but I guess you're saying you want them to add more factions to the existing mode, for some reason?

Yeah, what's your point? The White Lotus is already essentially dissolved, seeing as though most of its prominent members are either dead (Kung Lao, Liu Kang) or working with Special Forces (Kung Jin). The only one that should really in all honesty be in that faction is Raiden, and then you don't have a faction. But it still works. Hell, the only character in the Black Dragon faction period is Kano. Factions aren't meant to be canon gameplay mechanics (obviously). And the only ones in Mileena's rebellion that are dead are Mileena and Baraka, and the former has countless clones of herself which all hold her memories and experiences. And no, I'm not actively desiring that they add more factions, but I would like if it happened. The "reason" is this: Games with more variety and choice always sell better. And while I am not saying that the Factions have ever really been a huge selling point, I think people would be more inclined to stay loyal to the game if they had more choice. Besides, the Faction War is literally always between Brotherhood of Shadow and Special Forces. I feel like maybe (maybe) if there were more factions, it COULD even it out by giving people more choices. I mean casically, The Black Dragon and SF are the same thing, with slightly different  kills. They both heavily rely on technology, and to me that makes it a bit less fun. Same reason I can't stand Sonya's new fatalities, or whatever variation she uses the drone in. The only difference between them is that they are literal polar opposites of each other. White Lotus is anything but "dissolved". we literally see and hear just how active they are in story mode.
