Re: [hlds] Is your TF2 standing trending downward fast?
Why not just report it as a number? Positive number = good, Negative number = bad. The higher the number the better, the lower the number the worse. - Spencer.

I think it's deliberately not shown as a number to prevent the inevitable 'my server is better than yours because I have a higher number' when this system isn't meant to be interpreted like that.

Who cares if people do that? You can already do such a thing with the game server monitor sites.

Re: [hlds] Is your TF2 standing trending downward fast?
I noticed it too (somehow the trend was downwards fast for months but the server status always good). Seems I didn't care enough to submit a bug report though :p 2011/10/26 Spencer 'Voogru' MacDonald voo...@voogru.com ** Who cares if people do that?

Re: [hlds] Is your TF2 standing trending downward fast?
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.
