Please answer under the assumption that the auto balancing system actually works properly.

Vote away!

I voted 'Don't Care' for normal games, but there are times that it should be able to be changed (Like a 2 vs 1 ZG) to compensate for things

I would say 'No' to enforce any kind of autobalance. But as a lot of pickup games nowadays are uneven, I voted yes.

If Autobalance is made mandatory on servers/games for PUG's I know I'll find myself another game to play.

Don't mind autobalance... as long as we can have some influence over it:

aka:
- Do not play for list (for example some comms boot me on sight, so why ruin my day?)
- Do not play faction list (I hate belters, i really do...)

I think people need to have at least tried it before making any kind of determination on whether or not it should be mandatory.

cast my vote as "I don't know" since, well, I haven't seen it in action yet.

If Autobalance had accurate ranks, I would support only allowing a person to join the team with less rank. I would not support an autobalance system that automatically assigned me to a team. This way, you could still fly for the comms you wanted, but you would be forced to wait until it was fair to join their team.

Sorry to bugger up your poll Baker, but might it make sense for an option of "Autobalance is not mandatory but AS will only count autobalanced games"? I voted yes but I'd consider changing my vote to that and I think a lot of people would see that as an acceptable compromise.

100% agree with this statement. Im not really against autobalance, but I'd like to pick the com/faction i wanted to play.

I agree that AB should work like it does now in that respect, you can both assign teams at the start of a game, and then control which teams players can join after the game has started.
