Can we stop?

This is from BC2 and BF3 Server Rules thread http://www.edge-gamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129235
"Team/Clan Stacking - Is strictly against the rules, as with all eGO games, keep admins and players evenly balanced between the teams. As of now we are running all servers without Auto Team Balance as it prevents players from switching freely between the teams. This eliminates the "You cannot switch teams too often, try again later." message and is no longer an excuse for eGO members not to balance out teams." To finish off this section. If you encounter "You cannot switch teams too often, try again later." please leave the game and rejoin which this will fix the problem.

I for one have had enough of these thread posts on the BF division forum discussion. Leadership has expressed that the problem shall be fixed by adding an autobalance helper or finding a skill balancer. We all agreed to follow the eGO rules of conduct and to abide by them. I guess there are members who do not know how to follow the rules. It is up to all of us to either continue not following them or abide by them. Myself made my decision to follow them. Now its up to you to decide.

From what I have seen I wouldn't play on 80% of the server in BF3, if I see a bunch of jet ramming, car ramming..etc. I leave the server, ain't worth playing with a bunch of folk that dont know how to use their weapons,but I like realism in my games. I for one can tell you, never in 4 years of combat did I ever see any do this, and in my opinion it should be a bannable offence, and in my BF2 days it was, and I miss those days greatly.

I too like realism but unfortunately most people don't. I've been trying to get a realism server for a year now but it's just not popular enough to be implemented.

I realize that one side being "stacked" sucks for the other team that is getting rolled over, but I enjoy grouping with the other guys in vent with me, makes working together a lot easier and makes the game more enjoyable. I realize the admins would like us to split up to balance the teams out to make it more fun for everyone, but then what's the point of being in a clan together if everytime we group together it's considered "team stacking" and we are told to balance out. idk about anyone else, but I joined ego during BC2 days because working as a group is a lot better then running solo, if I wanted a game to go play solo i'd be playing CoD instead of BF. Just my opinion.

We need team scramble at the beginning of every round. I've played in servers with them and it works perfectly.

I am not so sure if some of our regulars would like that.

We are testing a new balance plug-in on the Metro and Airmaps server. If it continues to do well, we will most likely copy it to all bf3 servers, to alleviate much of this issue.

I recall requesting the same for the BFBC2 servers and it was shot down immediately, not tested, just shot down. I would like to also comment that most people (a very vast majority) would not care or even notice if they had 4ms greater latency because of a balancer addon that keeps the servers full...

Also several people have commented as to the original post that they do not believe that intentional team stacking happens on eGO servers and I am here to assure you that it does indeed happen, at least on BFBC2 servers. I have witnessed this time and time again and I don't care to start a flame war as Music said so I will not mention any names but I will say that at least half a dozen come to mind and I and Noblegamer several months ago brought up this very same topic as it was out of control at the time. I know we all want to believe that our community does no wrong but turning your cheek rather than resolving issues like this just make eGO as a whole look bad.

I would agree but say no less than every other round as it would suck to play attack over and over or defense over and over so at least play the map both ways then scramble ;-)
