Hello spirit and anti-nord invaders,
Thank you for the poll; it seems like it is a topic the community is very interested in!
As a returning player (last time I played was in 2012) I had no legendaries, no support equipment and 0 map/game knowledge. I have been told that I was “glitching” for standing on a part of a map that confuses the bots (an obvious player intended platform with stairs to it). So, there is an equipment/legendary, and knowledge gap if a strict kills/contribution standard is enforced and it would single out new/returning/low game knowledge players. I’ll say the community is great though, I was gifted barricades, support equipment and kindly informed by the community about the areas in maps that appear usable but glitch the bots.
Solutions wise, as others suggested that it would be easier to kick individuals sitting in spectator and follow up on players with a few leech complaints/reports/summon admins.
Lastly, as a nerd for polls I feel obligated to point out that you are asking 1) are you okay with this thing that is bad or 2) do you dislike this bad thing and support the game rules. You are implying that leeching by your definition is not allowed in the game rules and asking people if they support or don’t support the game rules in their entirety. In the posted rules, leeching is not defined/mentioned, just that players should make a reasonable effort to support the team and not intently bring lesser equipment.
Food for thought, how you frame the poll will affect the poll results itself!
