Ok...so hands up if you have had the same problem where you've tried to click review and accidentally hit the join button, or just genuinely are a bit quick with your fingers and joined GAC without doing the necessary upgrades to your characters? 🙋🏽♂️ Seriously is very annoying and all CG have to do is either of the following...1. Add an extra message saying "Are you want to do this?" 2. Add a separate join button.3. Do what they do in TW and give u the option of joining and leaving whenever you want. If they want they can put a count on how many times you are allowed to leave and join...Which one would you pick guys? Comment and let me know. Thanks.

Alternatively they could fix their bug in roster lock so that roster lock could actually happen by the end of the sign-up phase (as the in-game count down indicates).

It's not about the player choice, the dev team have stated they cannot add a leave button as it would mess up the matchmaking, so that is just not an option.

Matchmaking can only meaningfully happen when all entrants are known, that is only known at lock hence leaving and rejoining makes zero difference. Even if they do some sort of grouping early (which I highly ddoubt) they could have a leave option up until some time beforehand.Add to which they do it for TW.

If that excuse were true, it would also mess up the matchmaking if we all joined a second before the time runs out. Since that's a real possibility – more and more players join at the last minute now that roster snapshots are taken at signup – I have a hard time imagining that any matchmaking or division assignment takes place during the signup period. It would be asking for trouble to code it this way.

That would prevent confusion but it doesn't solve the basic problem.

It makes sense to do most of the matchmaking during the sign-up phase instead of doing it all during those few minutes between sign-up and setup phases.

I believe then that they can add an "Are you sure?" Message because that will prevent accidental button pushes. Or as said above just remove countdown clock.
