Don't get me wrong I understand what you mean I've played over 250 games of captain and I've seen it happen but normally people just get the flags and win by morale, that's EU and NA.
I don't think the devs should be worrying about such a minor thing though especially when they have so much on their plate already with multiplayer let alone singleplayer and the fact that they already have a system in place to deal with this such as flag capturing, I don't think it really needs to be looked at or changed. I think more players and I'm guessing you included are concerned about the combat system.
