Limiting number of class allowed? Allowing people to "buy" faster respawn time?
I'm kind of saddened that people believe this is the best way to move forward with their servers. The respawn waves / times are well balanced and halving them really won't do much other than build points for the other team; there might be a reason they are waiting to spawn. I can understand that people WANT faster respawn times - I can't tell you how many times I'll have someone join, and then make some comment about "what the fuck is with these spawn times", even though they have been left default. It's an easy rule - if you want quickplay traffic then play TF2 like it was "meant" to play. Not what you believe is "more fun" to play like, I'm sure hockey would be more fun with 3 more people and two pucks per team, doesn't mean it makes the game much better.

If you have a server that doesn't have problems filling up (and has weird mods like respawntime modifications) then by all means do not enable quickplay - it's not as if you get extra points or accolades for doing such. You are correct in the observation that it would make you like a ton of other servers out there, so competition is just "harder" because of this. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
