What is the EXACT reason for keeping voting?

[thepalgamer]

So I have, like many before me, petitioned for removing voting, and everyone but a few agrees. But that's my problem: I never seem to get any response from the people who want to keep voting, except that they like to play their favorite map. But that's not good enough an argument to keep voting. So this thread is specifically for the people who want to keep voting, because I really want to see their reasons so we can actually have a two-sided debate here.

So you'd like to remove your freedom to vote instead of keeping it. Seems legit.

Freedom is overrated.

Certain freedoms can be overused. This type of freedom leads to repetition instead of variety. Removing this 'freedom' will lead to a better experience. Thanks for the post though, it's nice to know that people who like voting are willing to defend themselves with more than one reason.

With great freedom comes great responsibility...

...and in this case freedom is abused and leads to the annoyance of others.

Freedom -> Everyone's Free -> Chaos -> No one likes Chaos -> Rebel -> Revolution -> Coup d'etat

EDIT: Coup d'etat -> More chaos -> No one likes Chaos again -> People leave to *that* place

After the removal of voting, people WILL complain and as for it back, I can 100% guarantee this.
Voting lets the community decide!
People say that "oh, da staff is corupt they nevr think of us, dey do not remove this or that, and they dont help de servarz"
Well, they are giving the community the option to pick their map, so if you want to blame anyone about the final desicion on what the map to be played is, blame the players.

Be grateful you have the freedom to decide the choice of map.

AS it has been said before, having the freedom to pick and choose which maps you play is very special, and positively affects players in how they feel about their position in the gaming hierarchy.It lets players feel like they have that little bit extra amount of control, rather then just being directed down a tunnel with a light at the end of it.
