The ENY and SIDE SWITCHING issues have been brought up so many times for so long, it baffles me that HTC doesn't address the issue. It's clearly a FACT that the majority of their PAYING CUSTOMERS disagree with the theory. It is the customers that play EVERYDAY and see the negative effects of it.
Because almost all players forget or were not here before the implementations of ENY. Before it was implemented a country could be out numbered drastically for months at a time. Not a few hours. The few complaints about ENY are nothing like the gnawing of teeth were before ENY was implemented.
Also people have a strange belief that only their country has people sitting in the tower, when common sense would tell you that all countries would have a close to same % in the tower, and hence kicking them out would not have any impact on the ENY. In fact if you believe it could lower the ENY , it could just as easily raise the ENY.
