i dont know exactly what PTB stands for but i think it is a HORRID auto team-balancer.
sammy, are there values u can change the strength of the auto-balance?
because if there are, i think its way too strict right now, aka it doesnt do enough balancing.
ive included some screenshots for your viewing pleasure.

i think here i shouldve been able to join the other side, yet it didnt let me...

i just retried (for more money lol) but seriously, 8 FREAKIN ROUNDS?!?!?!?! 8!?!?! what a JOKE.

probably the best example of what im trying to say. look at the wins and the scores. as u can clearly see behind the scores im trying to go to the ct side.

PTB is good at preventing team stacking and it manages the teams so the game is fair for everyone. I haven't seen much team stacking since we implemented it in a few servers.

clearly again not reading or looking at what i've said.
preventing steam stacking? well thats obvious. thats the whole point to it. but at what cost?
look at the 2nd example. 8 rounds? thats more than half the time into that map.
thats as bad as the server without the ptb before someone decides to even things up a bit.

and also if u read, the first thing i suggested was if u could change values, not get rid of it at once.

Judging by the title of the post anyone would assume you want ptb gone, but not to worry... ptb will remain balancing teams! :D

You need to consider the fact that people retry often in both teams to get the starting money again.
