Ofcourse I did it because I didn't want to lose my multi, thats why everybody is doing it. Nobody switches teams, because he just wants to play with his clanmates. I know you are a fair player and I must admit I never saw you doing it. But lets be honest, nearly everybody else is doing it, even the best and well known players. Some of your clanmates (won't tell names in this thread) are doing it too from time to time. Admins did nothing for several months when it really was abused heavilly by a clan we all know and now it is something that is not 100% ok but accepted by the majority of the community. As said before we all make some minor mistakes. If everything would be reported, the game wouldn't be fun or playable. I am sure you also didn't always respect the rules to 100% in the past? Have you never insulted someone because he behaved like an idiot, or teamhit a guy standing on the ladder, or pressed m because somebody hit you too often and it annoyed you? Never? Do you always switch to spectator when you are afk for 30 seconds, even when you have x5? Do you really always want to get banned for this?
Think about it...
Aw crap, i just wrote a fucking long post, accidently pushed "back" and now it's gone, lol.
Okay, short version: First, just because many people are doing so, it does not make it right or acceptable.
Secondly, i was not aiming at you personally, so please don't take it personal, you were just unlucky. Although you have never gotten into this situation if just didnt changed the team.
Thirdly, i started doing this because GO, STR, DRZ, T and other clans started doing it again after some quiet time after the first ban-wave (When it got officially bannable) and admins did not care. Well, actually because there are no siege-admins that could care, but that's another topic.
Oh yeah, and stop accusing HRE of doing so. For now, we had 1 player that got banned for this and it was just after it officially got bannable, since then nobody did it. As long as there are no screenshots that prove those accusations, stop spreading bullshit ;)
