As has Zachary, I have seen this happen many times as well. If it
happens enough, I'll give up waiting for T and play somewhere else, or, in
times such as this, play nowhere at all. I cannot speak for anyone else,
but I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets sick of waiting and leaves.
True, it reduces the flexibility of the game, but there are few if
legitimate reasons to join a third race if the majority of people are
already on two teams. Furthermore, pickup games are hard enough to find. I
think the increased chances of T-mode more than compensate for the reduced
flexibility.
