It is not possible unless you did something like switching from fast to
instant respawn. In that case we went from 10 to a whopping 30 quickplay
connects per day which is hardly worth being pleased about. Official
servers are still taking the vast majority of new players who are never
exposed to community servers.

For those of you who weren't on quickplay this is also bad news for you.
Everyone relies on new players since old players quit all the time. Fewer
players become aware of community servers because it is too easy to just
click play now.

If you have a top server you will see more players for now, but these are
mostly older players fleeing killed servers who will not be playing
forever. The new equilibrium hasn't been reached yet and we will see more
servers die as long as Valve continues this. Unfortunately this will be a
slow decline with many server owners not realizing they are a few months
away from dying as well.

I am all for trying a petition but people will not associate with someone
who has such a bad reputation. The solution being offered, "provide an
option to choose either Valve only servers or Community servers on every
quickplay connect" would annoy everyone. It would be a more realistic
solution to switch quickplay settings to community servers after 3-4 hours
of playing time.
