I hope someone at Valve at least looks at the declining player count and
the gametracker rankings. I know they don't take server owner opinions
seriously, but the numbers speak for themselves.
It is sad that a few people feel the need to defend this decision so much
that they lie about things like

Funny thing about that. They never competed equally. Valve servers always
had the advantage and yet community were still more popular despite that.
At the minimum valve servers got new players for the first 8 hours of their
gameplay. The cvar still exists:

I'm tired of repeating myself to people who only read the last email

be copy and pasted every time.

Very few players use the server browser or change the default settings when
looking for playing a classic game (not prop-hunt, saxon, custom maps
etc...). Now Quickplay sends almost all players to Valve servers. I doubt
that many community servers running classic maps / gameplay will survive.

This isn't really a big deal.
As I predicted, just about no one uses quickpick. Only 5% of our players
now are from quickplay and 1% use quickpick. I am sure everyone here using
Doctor McKay's plugin can confirm this.
Being the default for play now is too much of an advantage and there's not

I agree, othrewise that kind of makes the whole idea unfair to communities
and players if that's how they intended it to be (when opting to go to a
community server).

If this is "how it's meant to be", then that needs to be changed - If we don't
get listed in 'Valve servers' option, then Valve Servers shouldn't get listed
for "Community Servers".
All other filters are 'default'.
