I think the reason that nobody reported it as a bug is that we've been
given next to no information on how the matchmaking ranking system
works, and the only feedback we get is those two lines ("Status" and
"Trend"). There never seemed to be a correlation between me getting
players and my server's trend, and since Valve has not given us more
information on their wizard's magic matchmaking ranking system, I
assumed it was doing it's job like normal.On Wed, Oct 26, 2011 at 3:46 PM, Joeri van der Velden <[email protected]> wrote: > I noticed it too (somehow the trend was "downwards fast" for months but the > server status always "good").
