Guessing you are referring to FT?  Auto assign keeps the teams random which in turn helps keep the teams more even and has been this way for as long as I can remember.

In my opinion Auto assign works perfectly , keeps teams even, keeps teams Fair and generally stops all the best players going on the same team.

It has worked for over ten years so why change it , I for one would stop playing if it was removed because it mixes things up gives you the chance to play with everyone and keeps things fun.

Generally if people leave the server because of something like that well maybe they should go back to playing with their Playstation and leave the PC gaming to the big boys and girls.

we do not need to hold the hands of our friends and generally play well with others.

Yes but auto assign will sort that once the round is finished. I personally do not mind gives me more people to shoot at (and usually miss) ?. like I said if people are leaving because of that why are they gaming. its a game its random its supposed to be fun if everything was perfect all the time people would still find time to moan about something

Unfortunately there is really no better solution to balancing the teams.... an admin is in the game though, if the balance gets too whacked, can move players.

Not a problem at all. Thats how it works for many round-based games. Trying to auto balance in the middle of a FT round would open a huge can of worms that will have no reliable solution. What if its 5 v 7... but the team with 5 is winning with 6 enemies frozen? To balance, do you switch one of the frozen players so its 6 v 6? Is that player still frozen when switched? Limit it to unfrozen players only? What if the team with 7 players only have 2 unfrozen and the other team with 5 are all unfrozen? do you switch one of the 2 unfrozen players to make it 6 v 6? Thoughts like that give me a headache.

I don't mind the auto assign, it's luck of the draw to me. it's better than being able to stack the deck with the members you want to play with.

Letting players chose their team mates would lead to stacked teams and friends playing with only their friends. It is better the way it is. Players get to play with others than just their friends and socialize more. If the teams become to uneven then a admin can move them selves to the other team or another player. Most times the server evens the players out on its own tho.

What if its 5v7 and the team with 5 cant stand a chance ,and also with players in a team that realy dont know how to taw .

How many round based games have the freetag mod , 1% i gues .

Switching to a other team while none is frozen seems to me a good deal ,and i agree with you if some players allready frozen that wont work .

 

I understand that how it works in your opinion is based on the time that you and the most of the players at the server are .

In European time ,for example 19:30 is the story different .

At any given time, a team or both teams may have a player who don't thaw much or are new and don't understand how.

As pointed out above, auto assign helps keep the teams balanced, keep them even so we are not picking and stacking, and allows the community to grow when you get to play along side different people... the social fun part of why we are here.  Auto assign is not perfect and you'll never have a perfect solution when teams can dynamically change but also noted, that if the teams become too unbalanced in the middle of the round, then an admin can move players or a player themselves can decide to change teams before the round ends.

The point it, auto assign works and will not be changed.
