I do believe that playable Borg will happen one day, when the game is almost done and they want to do one last 'cash grab' before they turn the lights out.
Playable Borg is the 7th sign of the apocalypse.. I hope we don't see it anytime soon.
i dont think the borg would be boring at all "if done right" the ability to attack anyone at anytime on any side would be awesome. They would be the ultimate pvp faction. As for being a drone i dont think they could or would make the game that way they would probably have to give the borg players HUGE buffs and other enticement to make them work together more then the other factions. I would give it a try though i think it would be fun to fly my crushed chevy around assimiliating ship crews and taking parts off of other ships and adapting them.
Just think how fun that would be if you were in esd or ds9 and the borg attacked and a HUGE space/ground battle happened on the fly and you had to fight off the borg that would be pretty cool
But you can't get it done right with a MMO. The Borg works as a faction not as individual members. Therefore, as I said in my previous post, it would work as a RTS faction, like the Zerg in Starcraft, in a MMO. So to work in PvP, one side would be the Borg player while the other side would be everyone else. If you are playing as an individual in the Borg, then it would be you are forced to go to each waypoint without any freedom to go to DS9 or Risa, change your look in the tailor, or get down on the dance floor.

Honestly, they're gonna strive so hard to march forward in perfect lockstep with the new TV show over concepts from 20 year-old episodes that you've got nothing to worry about.
The Collective would only be good for the opening moments of a Cooperative faction. You do a couple menial tasks, slowly regaining your individuality along the way, then join in in the fight to liberate the ship you're on.
