While I think that the Trytonist "faction" is a very interesting Lore concept and in many ways much more fundamental to the core Ryzom history than marauders and rangers (the whole basic plot of Ryzom revolves around Jena, Ma-Duk and Elias Tryton), I also do not think that any time and development should be spent on this faction at this point.
As Salazar pointed out, it'll just split the player base even more. The rainbow portal teleport system would need to be coded like the mara teleport system was and that'd probably be a huge undertaking for the dev side. I believe it's much better to finish current projects like ironing out the mara faction and completing the ranger faction (plus kitin lair, occupations, NPC bosses, and stuff that can be enjoyed by the entire player base) than to add yet another faction to the game. At least at this point. Maybe in the future.
Plus, in terms of PVP, to be entirely honest nowadays it doesn't even seem to make much of a difference which faction you belong to. There's the guilds that don't PVP at all, then there's the kami faction, and on the other side all other factions grouped together against kami. So I doubt a trytonist faction would really make much of a difference in terms of PVP dynamics, balance, etc.
