What makes it unbalanced? I don't want people hogging diamond generators on every map just to get ender pearls. I bet others dont too. On top of that, say you're about to win a fight, after breaking a team's egg. You're about to win. But then half of the team just epearls to mid and makes you stay at their base until you get a pearl. Guess what? The game just got even longer.
So, you not preparing for them to escape, is unbalanced?
Others hogging gens make it unbalanced? Really, most people don't even think about getting an ender pearl. Most of them just get gear with it.
Gen hogging isn't even going to be influenced much by ender pearls in normal mode.
I don't see them hog gens in OP mode for enderpearls at all.
Sure, it can cause the game to go way longer, I've said that in the past as well, but that's something you'd have to expect when someone votes for it.
It's not common that an entire team E-pearls to mid because their egg broke. It's like saying "I don't like the fights, they last too long" while still playing the gamemode. If you despise it, you can just do /leave
"That means that people can vote whether to have ender pearls or not in any gamemode."
This sentence and the previous took a minute to interpret. Reread those two. If you're the reader, it takes a minute to notice what you did - you said it's not going to be in every game, then you said people can vote for it or not in any gamemode. Yes, I know what you mean. But please word it carefully next time.
Let me make my point a bit more clear:
If this were to be added, it wouldn't happen every game because there NEEDS to be a donator that wants to vote for it.
And if there are other donors, they might vote against it too.
Yep! It's for donors being able to vote for ender pearls. I gave an alternate solution, that works almost as well as enderpearls.
Problem is:
If there's a team of 5, all with punch bows, prepared to die so they can camp longer, Bridging isn't near as good as an ender pearl.
Imagine teams suicide charging the bridges with TNT, just so they have your entire bridge blown up, and you'd have to start from scratch again.
