Wait, tell me again, why is it ruining the game?
Allow me to attempt to understand the reasons you gave:
not only is it EXTREMELY ANNOYING but it ruins the game making it exeedingly hard to catch the flag and even then to return it.
1: It's EXTREMELY ANNOYING!
I have nothing to say to this besides how it doesn't ruin the game.
2: It makes it ludicrously difficult to "catch the flag."
I simply don't understand what you're trying to say.
Running the flag doesn't make it harder to pick up, unless of course you mean steal from the person who is running it.
Anyhow, this doesn't come even CLOSE to ruining the game, all it does is piss the flag runner off because you're stealing his capture.
3: It makes it harder to return the flag!
Once again, WHAT on EARTH are you saying? Of course it's going to be hard to return the flag if you're running next to a member of the opposite team who is running it. That's why you KILL them. It's just as hard to return the flag when someone's running it as it is when someone is carrying it. No offense, but if you meant that, you are among the people I gauge at the level of "indescribably stupid." You wrote up that entire post though, so I don't think you are indescribably stupid.
However, I simply can't think what other way you might mean when you say "it makes it harder to return the flag."
In conclusion, all you have done here is say that flag running should be rendered impossible, and given ways on how to do so.
You have NOT provided a reason WHY it should be gotten rid of, unless your grammar is so incomplete that the message didn't get through (don't mean to poke fun at the grammatical skills you exhibited in that post, I'm just stating a fact).
Please give a LEGITIMATE REASON before asking for something that a whole WEALTH of players (aka the ENTIRETY of the competitive community) appreciate to be removed from the game.
If you can clarify what about flag running was ruining the game, please feel free to elaborate.
Otherwise you're fighting a technologically advanced war with nothing but flimsy sticks.
