Boosting in a pub is pretty much irrelevant...

People are acting like blocking adds another fun feature to the game... It doesn't, unless your intent is to annoy someone. Removing blocking from office servers would change many things, including the constant door blockers you get on T that completely squash any hopes for a garage rush... Or how about the doorway in longhall? Please tell me those situations aren't enjoyable to you.

yea but stacking is always fun

Another problem with no block is that it allows more than one person in good picking and camping spots that are intended for only one ( small connector, tree, and backyard dumpster box in office, lower tun gaybox and b car in d2, etc).
No block also ruins choke points. There is a reason certain pathways don't allow infinite amounts of players through at a time. The rate of players that can pass through some areas is supposed to be limited for balancing purposes. Blocking prevents defenders from being easily overwhelmed. Having large amounts of people peeking and rounding some corners at the same time would get really lame.


No block might work best in the office server since that is where the negative effects of blocking occur most, but don't implement no block in the other servers.
