I started playing PFS earlier this year and have never even played "normal" Pathfinder. I was skeptical when I heard about the faction mission changes for this season, but I'm a newbie so I figured I would try it out in order to have some kind of informed opinion.
Having played most of the available season 5 scenarios available right now, I have to say that I completely agree with what Katie says. Not having faction missions anymore is terrible and it winds up as a complete disconnect resulting in no reason or impetus for anyone to even care about factions. This opinion is held by everyone I have talked to about this subject in my area. I have yet to meet anyone down here who thinks this direction is a good idea.
As far as I knew those missions were the only mechanic to interact with your faction, so now your toons are basically out on an island with no mobile phone service. It's a total bummer for me because I thought the interactions between all the factions and stories that could be produced from them was an unlimited source flavor for the game. Well, now I have no idea what any of them are doing. After reading the above comments I guess there is a way for me to find out whats going on with them, but frankly a) I think that should be in-game info, and b) no way in hell do I have the time troll the Paizo site to find all that info. Sorry, I've got other things to do. I really hope the peeps in charge re-introduce the missions or some other mechanic for characters to interact with the factions again because right now it is pretty terrible.
