Its called roleplaying and SOE wants it like this. In EQ faction ment nothing. They want you to make a choice in this game and stick to it. They don't want players to ignore faction. They said that no amount of creature killing will ever allow you into both towns. Make a choice and live with it.
Edit: As to your hunting thing, have your friend do the betrayal quest and turn evil. Driud's subclasses can be both good or evil. Warden or Fury can be either alignment so you don't have to worry about anything now. But neither of you will be allowed to enter Qeynos.
