I hope im not sounding like a zealot because im really not going for it. I just don't want idiots playing. I understand what eon is saying about playing with the better players improving your skill, but I really really don't think thats whats happening here. I just don't want stupid people playing there. I think the current filter is stopping a huge amount of that already but it still is there.]]></description>

+1
The ETF2L gets new sign ups and then you kick their asses because they are new? wtf

Who cares about div6, 5 or 4? Why should they play etf2l or can they even play?
Seriously, if you don't can stand the heat of new etf2l-players, maybe you leave the public server, I heard a lot of players waiting to join.

If a player insults someone its ofc a complete different case.]]></description>

Its nothing to do with that. Its to do with people signing up on etf2l just to play on that server. If you haven't noticed, 90% of pub players have absolutely no game sense, or reasonable understanding of the dynamics of wininng a game. They just have the mentality of "LETS GO RUN AND GETS LOADS OF KILLZ". I mean, its easy to say that if a div1 players engi or Pyro then the same applys but it just dosen't. A div1 player playing engi still has good game sense. Im sure a div1 solly playing pyro could do alot more damage on a pub than a normal pub player playing solly while ubered.

The idea is really just game sense. Even if its not entirely concious, Im sure that everything anyone here does in a pub is done with the intention of winning the round. Getting lots of kills is simply a by-product of having lots of idiots W+M1'ing at you. Where as - on a typical pub server you can have vast numbers of people sit around as engineer waiting for that 1 scout kill or some sniper sit with their dot at the edge of a corner for minutes just to get that one headshot.

The bottom line is that typical pub players are idiots. They don't know how to win the game or for that matter, really care about winning the game. Neither do they have skill (in general) to go and get kills as solly, scout, etc,,, so they revert to just camping, thus we have the wonderful game of Camp Fortress 2 that you will find on 95% of servers.

I mean we could go into why but thats really another arguement for another thread.</blockquote>

I'm just quoting this because its freaking massive...

But yeah on a serious note, not allowing people to play because they are newly registered is a little daft in a game where we are trying to get more players into the competitive community.. its kinda sad that people are even suggesting to do this because imagine if you had a chance to play pubs with the better players when you started playing TF2? It would of improved my game alot :X and if people can behave and be nice on the publics people wont be as scared to join the competitive community but then again maybe im missing the point of this server and its just there for comp players and its not ment to encourage more pubbers to join comp...]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Yeah could just have people auto-dumped into playing i.e. no spec jumping and waiting for slot on the same team as your clanmate who joined with you; and no manual choice of teams.

But also, even out of class div1/2 players are a step above the lower divs that make up a lot of the player base in etf2l (number wise).]]></description>
