And I know you were being sarcastic, but consider this - quite some time back, all the IS TF2 servers used the TFTrue mod. I don't want to play with the TFTrue mod. So I was stuck between not playing at all, or playing on the appallingly badly run SGS TF2 servers. Remember, catering to casual players isn't just about "simplifying" connections, it's about providing a standard, predictable platform for everyone.
Lots of people want to play the game the way it was released, and not with any mods or anything attached to it. I think a lot of you "hardcore" guys forget that. How many people just stopped playing CoD4 because everyone else was playing on the Promod servers?
