If community servers did not provide any extra benefit, Valve servers would
be at least as full as the top community servers but they were not. TF2
ranking websites would be filled with Valve servers like CS:GO but they
were not. Therefore proving that community servers provide substantial
value. Here are some examples:
Well, no, people using a server doesn't mean they are making any
statement about
that server providing extra benefits over another one.
e.g lots of people complain about the level of play on Valve servers, this
suggests some of them at least have played on Valve servers.
Equally, others complain about adverts, bots, certain plugins,
certain rules etc etc which suggests they've played
on servers that have these things.
Being on a server isn't a vote for that server nor
can you put words in the mouths of those players about
what they think of it.
Besides, as I said, if you cannot compete with Valve servers as they are
today, you can't compete with anyone.
Writing a list saying why your servers are better - whether I agree with
each entry or not is moot,
if you agree with your list what are you so worried about?
You can't have it both ways, either your servers are so much better and
they are
more full than Valve's or they aren't and boo hoo hoo big bad Valve are
stealing
all your players. Both cannot be true.
