So, this has been brought to light several times in the past and Valve
ignores anyone's request for even a stance on the matter.
You've got about five large "communities" built up on false stats, begging
for money and trying to deceive new players with server plugins.
When is Valve going to take a stance or do something about this? What's it
going to take to get someone in the company to grow a pair and say
something? Is it all about the short-term of hats and keys while letting
the community erode?
But they have done a lot of positive things that makes some of those
things immaterial.
- Adding the quickplay feature. So I can run a vanilla server and fill
it with people easily.
- Adding the blacklist feature, so I can hide the servers I want hidden.
- Making the game F2P so there are tens of thousands of real human
players around to play against.
Although the quickplay joining instant spawn etc is a bit of a problem
and it would be nice if admins
were honest about the game they are running I think Valve, by making the
game popular
and making quickplay have done something far more key.
If anything these folk are probably making it harder for themselves to
get players, because Valve have made it pretty easy.
