Penalties for switching teams.
« on: September 25, 2013, 03:51:43 AM »
While people are free to accuse me of whining, this is simply a suggestion.

1. I hear people complaining that enemy are switching teams to study the map, locate CVs and then switch back in the same day. This does seem like a valid complaint, seems absolutely barmy. While removing ranks and privileges would not stop multi-accounting, it does seem that it would drastically cut the number of people hopping teams, if there were penalties to consider.

2. A request to switch team, should have to undergo a week delay, during which the cool-off period exists, where person is free to cancel their request to switch team.

3. A person should be able to switch teams no more than once per year.

These are not really my suggestions, but ideas I've heard mentioned on country channel.

Why must I be penalized for switching sides and having fun with my friends on the other countries?  :( If anything is ever changed about side switching I hope its the 12 hours time limit being reduced to at least 2-4 hours.

Feel free to penalize yourself.  No one is forced YOU to stay on a chess piece, nor switch to a chess piece.

Do CV groups stay in the same place for twelve hours?  Even if your preposterous wish comes true, you will be back here to wish that people can never switch sides.  That will stop the spying for sure, right? 

The main reason CVs get found is they are spotted by a plane passing through. 
The cloud of puffy thrown up is kind of a dead giveaway.

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

You must be new, let me help you - those who switch countries generally look for fights. Those who Locate CV's have what they call "Shade accounts" which you buy a second account just to park on another country, people generally don't "Switch" just to mess with a CV because they are locked on that country for 12 hours.
I switch countries every month when I play, I rarely if EVER touch a CV anymore, because frankly its going to get sunk no matter what you do because people don't CAP a CV. Secondly our bombsites are pinpoint, you can fly buffs at 20k and Hit a cv (Ive done it).

I agree switching should be reduced to every 6 hours from 12, those who want a fight can get it.
