That isn't a flaw in the auto-assign though. That is people doing spcifically what we've asked them not to and purposefully attempting to circumvent it. If you've got instances of people doing this please do post the culprits here.
that said, i do still believe that it encourages alot of players to just jump into the game and 'get playing' on whatever team they are assigned to. It is a small number of people who purposely jump to specs after being auto assigned to choose the winning team instead.
The plugin makes it obvious which people are doing this, as you just need to look out for:
'player x was auto assigned to team blu'
'player x joined spectaor'
When there is no auto team selection in place, everyone who joins just gets thrown into spectators and then its hard to tell which are waiting for the winning team, which are afk, which are still in the process of joining etc. And it also encourages some people to wait for the team of their choice, even if one team is already short of players.
The auto team selection does help the balance of teams numbers wise. Those who jump to spec afterwords are quickly noticed and are encouraged to play on the team they are assigned to until there is a space free to move. A player who joins and sits in specs waiting is a wasted slot
