That could happen once in a while if the chatter isn't watching when a seat opens up. And I'm sure if it was one of your more vocal complainers (there are a few huge crybabies just like everywhere) they gave you an earful. The thing is the player who sat down may have been waiting longer anyway. I often wait with tables open without chatting before I sit.
One time I was waiting for a table and a player who busted took the max time before getting removed. I sat down and bought in. Then they came screaming in chat bloody murder that "Global gave away their seat and didn't give them a chance to rebuy". Which is LOL obviously and yes it was one of the big crybabies.
But you know what I did? I offered to leave the seat if they wanted to sit back down and I'd wait for the next one. When does that ever happen in online poker? That's right, never. That's the kind of friendly environment you have, and if there were wait lists I would never have made that gesture because I would have no chance at the next seat, I'd have to start over on the bottom of the list.
I've been on global for months now and at first, I thought the lack of a wait list was annoying because that's what I was used to. But I quickly came to appreciate it and I'm telling you, imho it works quite well. Please reconsider changing it and devote your limited resource time to something more urgent or beneficial to the continued growth of the site, which this is neither and may even end up being detrimental.
