    I agree with Rayne agreeing with Noc, this is a dumb feature. However you can see it in one way that is a noob taking a flag from a good player or you can see it as a good player taking it from a noob player. I would think it can also be stolen accidentally which can get all sorts of angers raised.

    So if you ask me, what should we do then?

    Hmmm, This is bad feature!... i think it destroys the game... If someone isn't capping, then an admin can go and ask them to cap (politely) and of course... they should. But if someone takes the flag... it is much harder to solve... the admin can still ask, but they won't know whats hapening half the time.... Also, When a admin isn;'t there, not capping isn't too bad, the players will ask, and usually the guy will give in... It's just sometimes people like gloating (i do too), but if some flag steals... that is like way off the charts compared to not capping, Cons outweighs the pros, if anyone else can bring another pro..... then i will discuss more :D MOAR!

    If the flag carrier isn't willing to cap the flag, a smart admin would kick him for a minuite. This way he'll drop the flag for other team mates to pick up and he can rejoin afterwards without any punishments.

    A smart player would see Justi and drop it instantly.

    Wait wait wait, theres flag passing now? Can you still throw flags?

    Is it still possible for me to crowd surf enemy knights, squirm through a crack in the wall bash my way through gaurdsboost into the flag room steal the flag then sprint back as fast as I can then javelin the flag over the wall whilst being stabbed in the back by 5 swords?

    But the point of CTF is to "grief" the enemy in order to get the flag...?

    This is a form of griefing older than time itself. Haven't you guys ever played a Capture the Flag game other than this?
