Do you really know the difference between default gameplay and modded
gameplay?
No one forces you to use quickplay on you servers. There are lots of
servers that
are full 24/7 and they don't use it. But if you want to have some extra
players
just obey the rules. Or don't use the quickplay.
I have several servers that are usually always full that are not a part
of quick play. As a player I would like to see that as an option, as a
server administrator I really could care less.

I've been watching this free players thing for couple of weeks now on

a server populated? You people act as if its your right to have a populated

I think the QuickPlay system is quite new and I find it a little harsh
to criticize Valve for giving us a new way to gain extra players, even
if it's not optimal at this point. However, I totally agree with others
that it suck that so many new players are reaching Valve servers
instead of ours. I
I would like to see quickplay support tags. Join servers with these tags:

What's the motivation for independent server admins to configure their

out the Valve servers?
