I believe in some post within 2 years someone at Valve said that the quickplay is affected only by small part by server reputation score. But even if it is, the server that i had 7 million score vs the one that had less than a million, the one with less score got more traffic through quickplay than the other. So having big server score doesn't mean anything. It only means that a lot of people spent 45mins or more on that server over the years.

Still, i'd like to monitor that server reputation score also. It gave me a rough estimate how all my TF2 servers are doing. Which server the players spent more time and what server i should look into that isn't getting score like the others due to lack of players of they spending less time there. Dig in for reason and fix it.

Chill there amigo. No need to be but hurt. I'm just trying to find out why
the backend score isn't available for us to see anymore.

I never said that Quickplay doesn't have a score. Quickplay does in fact
have a score, and that score is not publicly visible. The score that was
recently removed was completely separate and unused.

Please stop talking about things you don't know.

So how come Lotus doesn't fill up all it's servers when it has close to
the
same network performance as you do?
Player latency does in fact play a roll in determining where they are
sent
but there has to be an outside factor in play. There are thousands of
servers for TF2, not each one is filled completely. So your point is
invalid.

Right, that old scoring system that was removed is the one talked about
in
this blog post: http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2338

It was only used for a short time. In more recent years, that score was
tracked but used for absolutely nothing. It was completely separate
from
the Quickplay score.

It
does not get you more players from quickplay. Valve has said that
many
times already.

It doesn't take much effort to figure out that the quickplay scoring
system
is dominated by ping. There is a server quality score aside from this
that
is scored by the backend, but it only accounts for ~8% of the
quickplay
score. It looks arbitrary to me and even our most popular servers
don't
have a high score there.

Also I think the past couple of days when Steam went down and dropped
players for "Invalid Steam UserID Ticket" has negatively impacted
server
scores.

Yea, it was. The performance of the server is determined by the
score.
For
example, Skial may have a score of 500k while your 2Fort may have
20k.
Hence why Bottiger always has his servers full. The score was
visible
and i
can show you the code the gets it from Valve. This feature was cut
off
a
few weeks ago. Does this mean a new version of quick play is in the
works?

It
was a great way to see how well your server was doing.
