Totally agree, with an AFK host the game start with a player afk still. It resolve nothing.
Simply make it so we can choose to join and create the game we want.

i also completely agree. instead of fixing their completely broken system, they are introducing new potential problems by making workarounds to their problems instead of fixes.

*just wanted to say I still think Blizzard does better than most game companies, and no doubt this problem will be fixed in the future. Remember, probably around 100% or more games get released relatively incomplete, so that would account for all the problems with BNET2.

The auto-start when full and the "host" having absolutely no privileges is absolutely retarded. Sure, afk hosts will be a problem w/out auto-start but honestly, if the guy's douche enough to be afk as a host he'll probably be afk when the game starts anyways.

Bnet 2.0 is quite terrible as it is right now. However, I'll put my trust in Blizzard to fix and improve things in time and make things better as their great track record is more than enough to give them the benefit of the doubt.

That's only a side-effect of you not being able to host/join at will, which is also tied to not being able to name your custom game if you're hosting. Auto start is dumb, host not being able to kick/wait/etc when the room fills is dumb and the 30 second wait time where nobody can do anything is completely pointless. Then again, Blizz has known about this in the beta, they chose not to care.

Posted this one here cannot wish that they read all the threads on teamliquid http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/169527482#new-post hopefully it will get some eyes up, but am skeptical. Any more suggestions than those or any faults in what I wrote that you don't agree on?

Edit: Maybe someone can repost this on the american battle.net side too so it maybe gets some more attention, would be very happy =)

1. When people know that the system is what it is, they won't AFK when they host — obviously!
2. Why would you care about changing teams? You're playing with random people. The person saying that the host should be able to change things around in the count-down, I completely agree with. Still, it's not such a huge deal. If you want a specific setting, why are you playing with random people?

Crappy autostart and 30 sec also suck, the whole system is crap why the old system wasnt good?
Like sc1, u see the creator's name, and the GAME NAME, so u can choose from games, u know where you are. there was exact name of games.
and now there are such stupid things like: anonimity, popularity, map fetish and puts me into the same game whenever i join somewhere. and then autostarts. and the creator doesnt like my race / stats so logs off. i log off too. i join again on that map but ofc created by the same noob.. and he quits again and so on.. terrible!

I hate when a custom game starts and then the opponent just leaves. Can't believe that the autostart doesn't cancel then, but I have to log out from the game to not make the empty game start loading.
