It was me in BF3CC this morning, I was also trying to get them to swap, I did in fact swap 3 of them over, 2 stayed, 1 left, whilst also asking them.Also others joined form Korea and were moved over and left straight away.
SOB is right, of course you want to be on the same team as your friends, but this upsets the balance of teams ability (3rd party chat) over an opposing side.
As a general thought/question, do we feel it is a fair point that if a clan stacks a side with an unfair amount of players, we ask them to do a 50/50 level split and even out, and if they don't , kick them out? This is a serious question and needs a sensible comment back please.
I have spoken with Primal, it wasn't me who kicked him, I think it was perhaps an odd occasion where for some reason the server/game booted him out, and he is cool with this, I can't explain it though, and I don't think an admin did it.
As with the foibles of most new games, we need to understand what is best both for the game and all players, so perhaps this is a learning curve? and perhaps we need to as a clan / admin team have a few ground rules?
