I am sick of it

[CraftyCelt]

When there is the chance of a balanced game no matter how many players are on line people choose to stack. i.e. 6 ppl on server 4 vets and 2 noobs so 1 vet comms each team leaving two vets both decide to stack imo ppl who do this should get a 15 min ban.

I can think of three very specific players who'll get banned over and over and over if this is enforced.

[apochboi]

Well lets see We ban for alot of things, now your putting forward we ban because people choose to fly for. People dont play to get better at allegiance to be told where to go.

To quote the wisdom of my ancestors, "Trafena hus zagaga".

There's two more.

Id have to agree, ive seen some players wait for a good half an hour just to stack, in all the games ive played, quite a few have being heavily stacked. Ive seen 4 [12] players against 7 [50]. Is noone brave enough to go against the stack, or is everyone to afraid of a normal game?

[jess_i_74]

People that voluntarily go against the stack are generally fairly good, but after getting pummeled time after time after time, you start to get tired of it. Especially when people of your caliber are consistently joining the other team and always keeping them one up.

Actually, i see the more experianced players going with the stack, while the newbies go against it, makeing it a larger and larger stack. This normally causes stress in the commander and favours the stack more and more etc.

Going by your join date (and playing with you yesterday), I assume you're judging "more experienced" and "less experienced" by ranking numbers. That's another problem - when you lose, your rank doesn't go up. When you fight against stacked teams, you lose a lot. Connect the dots yourself.

(hint: look at my join date. In a week or two, you'll have a higher ranking # than I do.)

(Firestorm(11) vs Moses_XTC (23). Nuff said)

Mhmm, not that this pertains to crafty, but could it be that people who "stack" sometimes complain about getting "stacked against" as the comm and than complain about it? Could we also have double standards mixed in to the matter?

Anyways, please refrain calling stack till you have been with us for a little longer. And please, please, please, don't speak to sill games that happen before prime time. I'm starting to arrive at the conclusion that anything less than 10 people per side is not an alleg game. Games that happen in euro early afternoon very often have seriously mismatched comms, and there is a lot of other things going on there.

So yeah, please don't sound the alarm if there is nothing to sound the alarm about.

And one more thing. If I see a comm dumping comm when things go hot midgame, and does that repetitively, I WILL NOT chose to fly for that comm. It happens once, okay. It happens twice, mhmm. It happens a consecutive number of times, $#@! that.

thanks,
DW

That is not a reason to stack them to @#(!, though. More like the opposite - you could actually use a slight stack on the weaker comm's team as a handicap/balance mechanism, leading to better games.

But, of course... "I won't fly for soandso, I'm too good for that... yadda yadda yadda alibistic crap".
