I think you are asking the wrong people. All of us forum dwellers will most likely NOT come back regardless the changes you make. You should ask people who are currently on the server, but not in a gang.

Not sure if this has changed, but only one base should be available for take-over at a time IMO. It forces everyone to take that base. The server should announce that a base is open for take-over. Now here is the part servers mess up on. Who ever owns the base at the end of the time, should NOT be given the base. It should be given to the team that held it the longest.

What made me want to join a gang was the belief that they had more privileges (gang guns/hats/etc.) As far as I know, this doesn't exist anymore. Is the gang shop released?

It might even be a cool idea to have gang missions. Gang missions would require a decent amount of people and force leadership to be involved.
