Would it not make more sense to have all game modes an option all the time?

First everyone votes on game mode. Then everyone votes on map.

All options are there at start.

Right now it is a total dice roll to even get some modes to show up once a night, and even then you may not get the vote.

Strange way to intentionally block out maps and modes in my opinion.

Thoughts?

The only thing that would make sense is to have Random Maps and Modes.

The reason we don't have all game modes for voting is that a few would always win and some almost never win. For example, given all choices I would never vote for Incursion of Escort. But sometimes those are my only two choses so I have to pick the lesser of two evils.

I think, for a time and early in the map vote selection phase we had the option to vote for any of the 3 game modes at the time, but PGI saw the problem with that as certain game modes were being chosen consistently over the others. Rather than make any attempt at improving these game modes, or incentivizing players to take them, we just get the choice between the more shiny of two excrements.

FTFY.

With more game mode being implemented we need to be able to chose which game mode we can drop in. While i always hated voting, it just make less sense the more modes and the more map you implement.

It would be best to let the community split itself and not be bitter half the time about having to play a particular game mode again of this map again for the tenth millionth time. Whats the point of keeping everyone in the same bucket if some are pushed out and away, let people enjoy the game how they want to, maybe they will stay.

Random maps: yes. Its content, it does not affect how or why you play a game.

Random mode: no. Gamemode is the problem, its how and why you play a game. Remove the choice and your reason to play a game is diminished.
