You may have used it for one client but the truth is, this guy earlier
who posted used it to ten, even more clients. Also i think someone
already has a script that can be ran in textmode that autoaccepts the
items that drop. So no more manual accept and idling can continue. I'm
not 100% sure about this, i just heard about it few months back.
Play the game, run the servers, don't mix clients and players. Thanks.

I used it to log ONE client in so I could seed with it and hear what
was going on in the server. Additionally it was nice to see on my
screen at home what was going on thru the console too vs remote
desktop into the server. I cant speak for everyone else but even
still a REAL CLIENT is a real client
not Fake player counts.
Regardless of how many you log in if they are REAL clients which they
were then I dont see the issue with that at all. That is much
different then coding in fake clients showing up or fake numbers for
server population.
Either way this is just stupid and pointless to argue since we wont
hear a damn word from Valve on this or anything else when it comes to
Servers with this game. Im kinda sick of it and damn near ready to
say the hell with it all and their games.

Just so we're clear, you guys were only using this to fake player
counts on your servers? Where's the negative impact here? This sounds
like a much needed change to prevent scumbaggery.

Back when I ran servers I used to use Sandboxie and a bunch of

It's a struggle when you don't have a well known community, I feel bad
for the folks who've just been hurt by this change.

Yea I saw it last night... this is beyond a wasteful change. I use it
for a
client so I can listen in a server without using a bunch of resources.
Why was this change made and what alternative do you have besides
launching
the game in full and alt tabbing now.

From the client patch notes from October 12, 2015:
- Running in textmode now places the client in insecure mode
