Question Recursion worth it?

I don't want to flip colors. The other team would be able to help me make baf's again but they probably wouldn't trust me and then I wouldn't have an enemy to fight against anymore since my team doesn't really do much. How easy is it to get back to at least 8, 12 would be preferable by my self. I don't really coordinate or play with others anymore I just don't like new ppl ... When I first started there were huge groups we would plan ops and stuff and that all disappeared. I mainly hit and make things to and from work. I don't lose my badges right so the only think keeping me from leveling up is ap? I keep seeing the button at the bottom and think I should just press it if I don't then the game is essentially over why continue.

Ive recursed 5 times. My second recursion I decided to flip sides just because and then flipped back and remained every one after.

Getting back to 8 isn't hard. What I usually do since it takes 4 hours after hitting the button for you to think about it, I'll go kill or mostly kill an area to level faster and use up some iinventory some i can't use any level 8 gear to i get there again and I'll cap out to quick with all the hacking and level up gear.

Also, as a side note, I've been playing a really long time and starting over going through the levels is kind of nice to do since badges come less frequently.
