I dispute this premise. The game demands a lot of Officers and after a few maps I often see a turnover of them in the public game - also true due to the fact we’re largely a mature age playing base with limited recreational time so we play in shorter stints.
We have three choices in the PUBLIC game from what I have read here and at Steam.
1. Electing Officers
2. White listing
3. Leave it as is.
Well, nothing is more stifling and “chosen few” than white listing. And I would submit what we have now of any old Joe in the game grabbing Officer first is untenable.
So at the end of the day we have left Electing an Officer. It’s not a perfect solution but it will lead to a more consistent quality gameplay experience compared to the random chaos we get now.
If anyone has another practical alternative I’d love to read it.
