Because I'm letting you know what I've learned from my experiences. I've learned that players quit playing when they get raped as described in my post you quoted. I just figured that since the only way to play the game in ranked mode is to play in public servers with other players operated by other players, that I could offer some of my experience in running a server. Without people ponying up the money to provide a server to everyone else, you wouldn't be able to play the game. Just thought I could offer some insight from my perspective as the operator of a server. Is that offensive to you?Mint Sauce wrote:
Why does every one of your posts have something about your shitty ass server in?NUNYA! Bluecow003 wrote:
I agree it can be a subjective term and I understand that some people find raping to be fun. I just feel like if everyone has fun (not just the dominating team), then more people want to play and play more often. That's where I'm coming from particularly as the admin of a server. I mean we want people to play and we don't want people leaving the server pissed off. On our server, we used to allow the uncaps to be raped once all the other flags were captured. We found that when that happened, the losing team would just quit the server and our population would go down. So since we changed the rules to infantry only attacking the uncap, it helped our population meaning that more people were enjoying their time in our server (otherwise they would leave, right?).
So I just feel like it's better if everyone has fun or rather that nobody has a really shitty time. Some people will have more fun than others, but at least people aren't getting pissed off and quitting.
Also, I'd say less than half my posts have any mention of our server.
I'd like to hear what other people who run servers have experienced in their servers.
