The whole point of this is to try to make sure it is easier for non paid members can get on. However with your feedback, it seems the system right now is working well. Thank you for your feedback and will read more below this post.
To be honest, I think if we added this system it'd be a lot easier on non donors. People have to keep in mind that back when we first had this, while it was near impossible to get in, we didn't have nearly the number of servers we have now. 200 US servers alone will easily let members join. And once they're in, they're in. They don't have to worry about rejoining or getting kicked, which would make it a lot easier on them.

Couldn't they still be kicked for donor while in lobby?

What are you doing Chad I played MCSG when it was in Beta this was awesome i was a non-donor and had no problems with servers at all please this feature brought me to this game-mode to stay. Lets change it see if people like it? and there are more votes saying to go back to the old one you cannot refuse the poll!

It's even easier for non-donors anyway because they can pick a sever and stay there for a while without worrying that they won't get in when it restarts. there are so many servers its almost impossible for all of them to be full. By the way this encourages more players to spectate bringing up a better community which can learn from each other's tactics instead of leaving the game when you die.

So follow the poll and change the system back to the non-kicking one, there's nothing to lose just a new experience :D we can learn from it, if people hate it we change back no problem :)

I don't feel this way. As I said before, my region has 25 servers, close to the number we had back then. To receive the benefits of this change, you have to wait out the whole match. If you wait out a match in the current system you know exactly when the server is restarting so you basically immediately rejoin. This will just make it harder to start a playing session.

I don't see the difference that you're trying to point out. If you wait it out, you get in either way it seems.

Exactly; that's the point. It doesn't make it any easier. The difference comes in joining a server when you start playing. More people will wait it out if this change occurs, making it harder to join a new server.

But if you wait it out with no restart, then there is a lower chance of getting kicked. If you just join after the restart, and everyone else does the same, there is a higher chance you will join after other people and then get kicked.

It won't be that much harder to join a new server, because it's still really easy to join any game with so many servers. The problem really only affects the future, when there are more people, and that will only be true if we don't get more servers.

I think it will be similar to how it used to be. Maybe there would be 3-12 people in the lobby after the game ends, and then the rest slots for the public. Which means it will still be easy for new people to join.

Currently, it makes no big difference. Maybe in AU or AS it will, but in US, EU and CA it's already really easy to join a game and until our playerbase grows, it probably won't affect much.

I'm seeing two majority groups in the poll results. Mostly non-donors voting no, and donors voting yes. Since donors won't really be affected since they can still join servers whenever they want, and the poll can't really be complete since a lot of members don't go on the forums, I say we keep it the way it is.

Agreed, also, there isn't that much difference in the poll so it should favour the way it currently is.
