It might not stop switching teams as you could still leave and rejoin server. But it’ll help reduce people switching teams and giving away Garry locations. Because this is cancer.

What have you experienced that makes you think people are switching teams and giving away gary locations? Anytime I have switched teams there is a 30 minute cool down anyway so its not like this can be exploited.

Jep, the cooldown would totally prevent this behaviour. Thats why its added to the game.

Also, OP, watch your language ;).

You can wait at the start of the game to see where your team places garrisons and then switch teams. Of course it only benefits you in the beginning but it could turn a game fast. Also just switching teams in the middle of a game is an easy way

At the start of the game is a minor issue, and can be acceptable. The mid game swap is just bad behaviour and van be reported to the server admins if it gets out of hand. Then those players should not be welcome in those servers again.

True. I guess you can’t really limit that behaviour without removing the option all together, but I sometimes can’t be bothered to play as a certain faction so I have changed at the start, in good faith of course.

True, it surely is a dilemma... but we are all in it, devs and gamers. A bit of good faith is needed and if that faith is broken, admins have the might and tools to remove those ones.
