Breaking the game rules - does anyone care?

I was reluctant to write about this but it's becoming really annoying and I decided to point it out.

EU2 and EU5 servers need some attention from the admins  because of massive bypassing of auto-balance system (specifically - a large number of Grey order members). I see this scenario every day -> auto-balance system transfers some ppl (best stats players) in the losing team for compensation and they just go to spectator mode until they have a chance to join the winning team again.

I read the game rules and it's clear that bypassing means breaking the rules.

Yes, but if nothing can be done about it and if really nobody cares... then I think it should be at least removed from the "game rules" list. It's not a rule if you can't enforce it. :/

Every normal player would call playing in the same team - "teamplay". This is main reason to join cRPG clan. If someone doesn't know - EU 2 and EU 5 uses banner autobalance system, that means people with the same banner are playing in the same team. Deal with it.

Lol what the hell are you talking about, this is not about banner balance.

I knew I would provoke some grey members with this topic. I'm sorry about that but you need to understand that I'm not against anyone in particular here, just trying to make the game more balanced as it should be.

And your reaction is a bit childish I must say. I'm not saying anything about banner balance here.

I have a question for you: "If you can't follow the rules why are you playing this mod?"

Darkula seems to not have read the original message. Being in a clan, being balanced to the same team is fine, and that is not what he's talking about. He's talking about bypassing autobalance.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

So when I go to spectator for coffe and smoke or to eat something or go to toilet I break the rules ? hehe funny

I too sometimes go to toilet or a smoke when I'm in spectator... funny... but I don't try joining my preferred team 50 times if the system sends me to another. Just be honest about this, no need for making silly excuses because every player on EU2/5 sees what you do every day.

You whining because you are weaker than us on sige. You are biased. Thats all.

If you stop abusing the system I will add "_the_Weak" suffix to my nick if that's what it takes to make you play as a honest person.

I thought they use strict balance? I thought only EU 1 and another one had banner balance? I remember an admin saying they changed it a while ago. Maybe it's EU1-2 have banner balance and EU4-5 don't. Something like that.

Edit:

Found it. For some reason I thought 5 was strict as well. In my opinion 5 should also be strict.

Autobalance settings have been changed for the official servers, so as of today we have the following:

EU_cRPG_1 (120 slot Battle) - Autobalance by Banner
EU_cRPG_2 (80 slot Siege) - Autobalance by Banner
EU_cRPG_4 (50 slot Battle) - Strict Autobalance
EU_cRPG_5 (80 slot Siege) -  Autobalance by Banner
EU_cRPG_7 (80 slot Battle) - Autobalance by Banner
