    hi guys,
    i hope that i dont repeat someone who posted that before me ( i searched and i didnt find it)
    in some servers is a automatic balance system, if the teams are unfair it swiches some guys that its a fair game (not bad idea) but...
    always if i have the falg, or have 3 bombs, etc...(i think u know what i mean)
    i change
    thats not cool
    i hope that some serverowners reject the balance system...

    It should be self evident: autobalance helps create a fair game (something your yourself mentioned) and without it things can get pretty uneven. The fact that you 'always' get swapped when something's going well for you is unfortunate, but it's also not enough of a reason to remove/reject something so useful.

    Autobalance could definitely put to use some kind of change to make the player feel better, but removing it entirely wouldn't be in the interest of fair competition! It becomes a different sort of contest when one force has a distinct mechanical advantage over the other-e.g, Guards vs The World--.

    If you really care so much, though, start your own server and turn autobalance off; I know for a fact it's a setting someplace or another.

    I think it should only auto balance players who are dead, if it's possible.

    you don't get autobalanced if you have atleast 30 kills, and if everyone has 30 kills or more, the person with the lowest kills gets swapped.

    earn your place on your team. :)

    How does trading bad players help the balance? You have to trade a low-scoring player with a high-scoring player to get a balance, right?

    And that's why we have things like the whitelisted server for "non-derps only."

    It's aimed towards players that just joined the server, as even bad players can get 30 kills fairly easily.

    You know that feel when you kill half the enemy team then get autobalanced? yeah, geti tried to make that happen less.

    Auto balance is sort of irritating when you are trying to have unbalanced teams in the first place.

    I miss the typical CLAN VS ALL type games where about 5 people from the same clan try to play 15 people and win.

    It's nice to do that once in a while without having to change server settings.

    Know what's more irritating? Players saying your server is shit because it's 17vs10 and because you haven't looked at the scoreboard, you don't know it's so uneven.

    Seeing "shitty fucking admins balance the teams and do your job!" all the time is absolutely fucking irritating.

    There's a server option to have unbalanced teams, there's even a server option to turn off autobalance, i see no logical reason to complain.

    Take it easy man. I would never complain about 17 vs 10.

    Take it easy you say? I'm not even hyped up.

    Maybe you should re-read it if you think so.
