Exactly this. It was once stated that quickplay is only about 30% of all
connects to servers. Many people may have found one, two or more servers
that they have on favorites. They will go to those servers first if
there are players as they will be asked if they want to add the server
to their favorites when they disconnect after 10 mins or longer session.
This can be just a normal case, some of your regulars will be gone and
there will be quiet moments. Quickplay is only something that you may
want to have as an extra. It helps populate a server but on peak times,
there's a lot of servers with some empty slots so there will be also a
lot more servers for it to pick for and where to place a random player to.

The reason can be there just less and less people are using
quickplay. And there are more quickplay servers out there.

I've seen mine above 12 players and not getting fed a trickle of
people from quickplay. Often what happens now is a swarm of
players join around the same time. Then usually after a map
change many players will leave, dropping the server to 14-15 or so
where it will remain until the next swarm of players gets fed in.
This can take a while sometimes, after which this cycle repeats.
There seems to be less of a constant slow feed of players now and
instead you get big spurts.

Thats how it was before the quickplay changes, at least for my
server.
Only at around 12 players does quickplay kick in.
