Poll: New TF2 server plugin kicks F2P players

[Redratson]

The Plugin came out the day after TF2 became F2P.

Server owners can do whatever they want with their servers, so all the F2P players getting kicked will have to deal with it.

You got the game for free, you really aren't entitled to complain.

^this, 1k times over.
Im a veteran (07 when I picked this up) and I try to be understanding with them, but half the team going snipers and using smg's can get very outright annoying. I do hope this plug in goes into effect, I for one will be happy.

I have been playing for years and when that halo shit happened I didn't even notice. I don't think that this will cause much of an issue either. Most people who play are not asshats. It is a small minority that would use this type of thing. People have been making password protected servers for ages and using them for scriming and other serious competative play so I recon that this script will just be an extension to that type of thing. There is the ability to save servers into your favourits, use it.

 

[Awexsome]

Technically nothing we can do about it but Valve could force people not to be assholes. Something I hope they do just to spite the type of people who think they need to just have a massive generalizing script like that.

Seriously, with people that quick to condemn I bet they're the type of people who complain about how TF2 has been ruined since the class updates.

I don't like it and won't play on any server that uses it (I paid for TF2 and have been playing for a while).

It's annoying and continues the trend of obnoxious PC elitists who really need to relearn the value of fun in gaming.

That said- it's their server, they can do what they want on it. They are free to be as big a group of ignorant, elitist howler monkeys they want to be.

People need to stop bitching about the Free 2 Play players. Premium players get allot more out of game benefits than what the free players get. There is no actual gameplay difference between the 2 player types.

so now valve fanboys are in a "class war"?

i wish i could put a bunch of lols next to each other and not get in trouble, but seriously? this is starting to become a "SRS BZNISS!" situation. It's mostly PC gaming elitists who are fueling this isn't it?

 

[Stealthygamer]

I'm terrible at shooters, but since i bought the game im not a noob but someone who has a 5.0 Kill/Death Ratio who didn't buy the game is?

 

[00slash00]

hasnt trigun taught you anything? this world is made of love and peace. okay maybe an odd quote to use considering we're talking about a game where you run around killing each other, but the point is theres plenty of game for everyone

 

[Gardenia]

I don't like it, for two reasons:
1: It is discriminating.
2: It keeps all those delicious noobs away from my axtinguisher.

 

[IamGamer41]

Ahh I see,thanks for the info

 

[Yeager942]

I approve of the plugin. Lately I've found the free to players insufferable. Doing incredibly stupid stuff, constantly going afk, asking to trade on non-trade servers, disgusting sprays (though I guess that's a staple online) mic spamming and just generally being a nuiscance.

Sounds like a normal TF2 server.

It's pretty silly, the only problem I have with the free to play guys is it has become impossible to join my regular servers, but that problem should even out in a month or so. Plus now the store makes more sense, I wouldn't be surprised if they've been planning this for a while.

 

[thebolt]

Good. TF2 has been on the decline since free to play people joined. It's like Xbox lives crap got dumped on my game.

 

[Amphoteric]

Well I bought the game ages ago but only played it after it became F2P. I presume I'll be fine then.

people don't stay noobs forever, why is it so bad that the quality of players will drop a little for a while? It will go back up eventually when people get used to the game. People just need to be more tolerent.

 

[Stainlesssteele4]

Look people, this plugin is mostly for trading servers. I understand that free players feel they have "just as much right to be there", but when your running a trade server and no one with trading rights can get in because there are 30 people all begging for free items or asking dumb questions on how to play, it gets pretty annoying. On a server I admin, we had a day where we had to kick several free players to make room for people who were regulars on our server. Look, when your paying upwards of a 1000$ a year to keep a server running, you have the right to run what ever plugins you want.

 

[sooperman]

But PC gamers aren't Elitist. How could this happend?

IS NOT POSSIBLE.

To be fair, the owners of the servers can do whatever they want with them. This isn't any surprise; it's just another divide amongst gamers.

 

[Riddle78]

I VEHEMENTLY disagree with this notion.

Although I purchased the game a year ago,I think the F2P players are a boon to TF2;new people to play against means more variety. The concept of this plugin is not to keep the servers "noob free",but rather to segregate the (precieved) "Purchased" Elite from the (precieved) "F2P" Chaff. To the people who advocate this plugin; grow up. We were all noobs,once.

 

[BoredDragon]

I had the game before it went free and I haven't even noticed a change, i.e. most players are either assholes (always on the opposing team) or idiots (always on your team). However, I still find fun in it, I guess the game is just that good

 

[BoredDragon]

I approve of the plugin. Lately I've found the free to players insufferable. Doing incredibly stupid stuff, constantly going afk, asking to trade on non-trade servers, disgusting sprays (though I guess that's a staple online) mic spamming and just generally being a nuiscance.

I second this comment

Sounds like the guys who paid for tf2 are being trolls
