You're an anomaly then. A large portion of people who play together want to be on the same team, it's just how it is.

I got a friend named Sneken. He mains Scout pretty hard. Yesterday, I joined his Hightower game for the sole purpose of trying to kill him as many times as possible.
 
Market garden the pocket medic repeatedly until he switches. It usually takes around 2-4 kills for it to work.

Whenever my HL team pubs together we split up onto the opposing teams. We shittalk each other and make temporary rivals until a scramble happens and then we start the process over with whoever is moved to the other team or vice versa.

We might stack a team once in a blue moon, but if there is a scramble just go with it and start playing against each other.

There are exceptions to any rule, the fact there are constant posts like this one definitely backs up my point that MAJORITY of players enjoy playing on the same team as their friends and will simply go elsewhere if they start being penalized for it.

I don't know if that's an honest question or not.

Edit:
I see where there might be some confusion, I wasn't referring to Chuck's post, I was referring to the original post.

Here's the problem: Who's going to complain when I go and try to get my ass beat by Sneken? Who's going to even notice? Who's going to care or notice when some really good players join one team and some other really good players join the other? And yet a few good players that like to pubstomp can cause several shitstorms over the issue.
 
Team Stacking: That moment when harbleu joins mountainlab TX, with a pocket medic, as demo.
 
I know exactly what Mr. Encouragement is talking about. My friends and I got bored of Team Fortress 2 because every server had extremely unbalanced teams. One team could stomp the other team during the entire game. It caused people to leave and it broke the flow of the game completely. There is nothing fun about waiting for 20 minutes for the round to end, just being completely stomped by the opponent team, or watching your own team completely stomping the opponent team. We made our own server that had an auto scrambling feature at the end of every round, and it was a big success. There was never constant stomping every single round, and there was a good flow too. Sadly we had to stop the server after Valve made some bad decisions regarding Quick Play, and now I'm back to Skial - And nothing has changed.

It is not every single round, thankfully. But I understand why he does not enjoy playing because of that though. :3

I still don't see the point you are trying to make. At no point did I say it doesn't suck when people teamstack, I merely said it isn't in a communities best interests to discourage players from playing with their friends.

I said it in the other thread too, plat snipers joining a server and just waxing players can clear it out just as fast as pocket medic heavies/soldiers, should we also start banning exceptional snipers? It's impossible to police.

It's a competitive game, there are going to be people better than you, and you're going to be better than people, there is nothing an admin should do to punish a player for being better at the game than you, or a team for working together better than yours.

I'll be damned if I am expected to behave a certain way. It's a different matter if you are an admin or something but as a regular Skial user, I don't honestly care about any fuck that comes in here like an asshole and complains about stupid shit like we're supposed to care about his whining. He is throwing a fucking temper tantrum and if you let children have their way with temper tantrums it just encourages them to do it more. So no, we ARE justified in calling him out because he didn't give us any courtesy so we shouldn't give him any either.

I never said anything about behaving any certain way. I am just saying we should just keep our heads on our shoulders instead of starting to flame each other at first sight of something we don't like.

You said that posts like these back up your point that the majority of players prefer to play with their friends. The problem is that when this is the case with good players, people will complain. On the other hand, when you have people (like me) that like to go against their friends, who's going to complain or even know aside from maybe noticing that that one guy with 300 points on the enemy team isn't killing them quite so much?

Maybe I'm getting senile in my old age, but I really don't understand where you are trying to go with this.

A single instance of good players wanting to play on the same team as friends will cause multiple of these kinds of posts, whereas a thousand cases of good players wanting to play against friends will cause none. Ergo, threads like this are not proof--nor even slightly good evidence--that the majority of players like to play on the same team as their friends. Not that hard of a concept.
