Poll: New TF2 server plugin kicks F2P players

[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.

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.

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.

Sounds like a normal TF2 server.

I second this comment

 

[DSD12]

Sounds like the guys who paid for tf2 are being trolls

 

[NickCooley]

I said that the Head up Ass plague that blights the land of gaming couldn't get worse, thank you TF2 players for proving me wrong.

 

[w1ndscar]

I could care less to be honest. But alas, if they want to take their hate out on someone, the F2P players arent the ones that should be victim. Its not their fault the game is F2P.

 

[BoredDragon]

I think it's disgusting, and I don't even play the game! Why penalize people for saving a couple of quid? F2P palyer does not equal a bad or rude player. Looks like the elitism hierarchy will need a tweaking:

1. P2P PC Gamers
2. F2P PC Gamers
3. PS3/360 Gamers
4. wii Gamers
5. Facebook Gamers

lol what about iPhone gamers

 

[ezeroast]

they pay for the server, they can do whatever the hell they like with it.

 

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

It's bloody stupid, that's what it is. Free to play player does not equal crappy player, just as a person who bought it will not equal greatest player alive. All it is is people being elitist pricks.

Maybe not, but there are severs that want skilled players only, or rather is known for having only skilled TF2 players. The server im on is one of them, its a 32 cap limit of players but the problem is, most players BEFORE F2P we're either skilled or knew how to use team work and listen to others advice. Last night I constantly said "there is a sentry gun up stairs, you CANNOT charge up there like Rambo, use a stickybomb launcher". Eventually I had to swap from Solly to Demo just to do it because no one would listen and tried tanking it as a heavy.

they pay for the server, they can do whatever the hell they like with it.

This exactly. It's their money, If I was still running servers I'd use that Plugin on all but 1.

EDIT: Sidenote, ALL Trade Servers need this plug in for the obvious. I had a guy going "Omg why arent you buying my hat?" Because you cant trade HURP DERP.
(That and the amount of Idlers on a trade server is fucking retarded)

 

[Double A]

Once upon a time, I bought Carcassonne on XBLA for $20. A few months later, Microsoft gifted it to everyone. I was a little pissed that I had bought something that was later made free, but you know what? I had gotten my money's worth, and that's all that matters.

Of course, if you pay for a server, I don't really care what you do - it is your server, after all. I just hope you realize that you're fucking over F2Pers who don't know what server to join.

 

[Gaderael]

Wow, that's really fcking dumb. "Hey guys, lets ban the influx of new players who want to have fun like us. Damn them to heck I say!"

You speak blasphemy! GAMING is serious business!

But really, this is just another group of elitist fuckhead gamers who think the world owes them something.

Yeah really. Luckily I only play on a couple of servers and I only heard one person complain about the F2P folks, but he gt shut down pretty quickly by other long time players. I have the helmet that they gave payers who owned the game on most ofmy characters at the moment just so I wont hear people ***** and complain.

 

[Communist partisan]

I think it's good, it shows how reserved most "veteran" players are against the F2Pers and it won't make all the hate as spread out, it will be concentrated and with a week or two than they don't play with F2Pers they will forget the hate, I personally dislike the F2Pers because I paid for it and it makes me pissed but I really don't bother them in other ways, I really don't tell the difference except on equipment or skill and I still enjoy killing somebody who is technically defenseless so... yeah, whatever... I went too much of the topic. You still get my point.

 

[Chemical Alia]

Gamers can be such elitist bastards, it's a shame to see people making such a fuss over something they should be enjoying. I always loved the influx of new players around Christmas time every year, and it's good for the community as a whole to have more people participating in the game.

 

[azurine]

something feels very childish about all this...

"there was once a mother with two sons. she loved her two sons very much, but one of her sons had a really fun toy that he always played with. he got this toy by doing a few chores for his mother, and he has friends he always plays against.

one day, the mother noticed how lonely her other son was, and decided that her other son has every right to play with his brother, so she got him the toy as well so he could play too.

but his brother, and his brother's friends didn't let the child play with them because he didn't work for it. now the child is lonely again, wondering if his mother can help him in any way."

can you spot the metaphor?

 

[Aprilgold]

I like it.

It just further proves the type of mentality that the STEAM community has.

Sorry if this is asking too much, because it would be nice if you also capitalized COMMUNITY since its not valves fault pricks play their games.

I don't like the plugin at all. All its doing is trying to make people who are pricks feel superior because they bought the game 4 years ago, and just picked it up so they can brag that they did. And its going against Valve's wishes, which is another reason someone should create a kicking system that FUCKING WORKS! Seriously, I'm getting sick and tired of having some prick micspam shitty ass songs, then followed by me being kicked to politely ask if he stopped playing those songs. This REALLY happened, 12 times just withing the past few months, it pisses me off because I was kicked from 12 different servers and asking if the man be kicked for disrupting the whole server.
All and all, this is for elitest shooter pricks to feel superior to people just learning.

 

[Nexus4]

A little childish tantrum against Valve for making the game F2P. But hey, if people are going to be snooty and act like childish dicks to the F2P players then fine let them have their exclusive servers. I hope they feel validated in their hate.
