    Jay for the idea, Nay for the longer waiting-times to join a server.

    It's not worth the time catching little fishes like this

    EDIT:
    But to go back to the topic:
    I thought about it, and after I visited several servers, it was pretty much clear to me: This is the end for Tf2, at least for me.
    I cant see these fucking promo and homo hats anymore, coloured in every possible paint, and seeing the store when opening the game makes me sick. And now we have 200 new weapons, 199 of them are fail. Every single person runs around with these and we lose every fucking game. And in addition, I feel kind of betrayed because of this f2p shit, what the hell? I payed 20 bucks for that shit and get a fucking hat as a repayment? No thanks.
    I wish the old days back, where nobody cared about hats and weapons and just played the game like its used to be...
    I'm pretty mad about this to cut things short...

    It's the psychological effect that matters :)

    Many times in my former clan we received a calladmin just to enter the server and the abusers stop doing what they were doing, so we didn't have proof to bann them on the spot. We adopted this incognito technique to be able to take screenshots and logs before issuing punishments without them knowing we were watching. It worked so well that it prevented any malicious behavior behind our backs - they never knew which one was actually an admin (if there were any).

    But here in TF2 this was recently hindered due to the uniqueness of the steam accounts (which is not an issue anymore).

    on a side node, dodgeball and prophunt are FULL..
    and the dead 2fort server.. well its FULL 32 players..

    Even though it might be only a short period rise, after all if it helps our community too.. i am in for it.

    new people = more admins = less cheaters too.

    on a side node:
    dodgeball is more or less broken. If a pyro is not civilian, he has only 200 ammo.
    VSH is broken as well.

    Yeah, I wanted to suggest that. Definitely put it on the trade server, so we won't be wasting slots. Maybe ultimately make a premium-only server, if the freebies get annoying :p

    to be honest after playing for a while, i don't really know whats the fuzz anymore about TF2 going F2P. nothing changed, we're still playing the same game, we just have another update with loads of stuff and a great "meet the". the only change is that we now have different kind of playerbase in our game. i don't know why we're complaining about that we've got NOTHING for our money...we've paid 60/20/10 euro's for a game with content coming almost every year...and it was absolutely free. I've spent hours in tf2 and I didn't regret it. I don't mind it anymore that valve made it F2P, i'm just happy that Valve managed to keep this game alive and still going.

    *random reader in my head:*....so basically TF2 is like a WoW addiction for FPS fans?....*head slam on the desk*
