Why hasn't this been suggested yet? I just ragequitted from the upward server after getting hammered by 6 sentry nests. I'm sure the servers would become more respected if there were some restrictions to how many players can play in a class. There's nothing wrong with large amounts of scouts, soldiers, pyros, demomen, heavies or medics. Spies, snipers and engineers in excessive amounts almost always ruin the match for any type of player. 3 slots for the three classes is more enough in my opinion. This could also draw in donators for class limitation immunity.

EDIT: Okay this has been suggested, but I'm only proposing limits on spies, snipers and engineers in only the 32 slot servers.

I don't see the problem with Snipers, but excessive spies mess up any game. Same goes with engineers. 2Fort + 6 engineers on the enemy team = a ragequit.
+1 from me.
 
Has been suggested, something about admins being extremely liberal with their servers and don't want someone's favorite class to be full and thus quit the server.

But that in turn makes the server less enjoyable and thus makes people leave anyway.
 
But, but, but... FUN!

I'd rather appeal to the better players instead of the noobs. Leave that to saigns + proTF2.
Well, if you want to appeal to only the better players, you won't have to worry about the 32 slot servers, since there won't be enough left to fill that server.

Then the only solution for me is to stop playing on the servers, which I've unfortunately been doing and is a damn shame.
 
"Our engineers are building teleporters with no exit, dispensers right next to their mini-sentries far off from any choke point, our spies are cloak and daggering in the same spot for an hour and trying to facestab pyros, our snipers cannot fucking snipe."

I can smell the shitstorm already.

Replays
  • Wastes a slot
  • Makes the server noticeably slower
  • Has been subject to crashes and freezes ever since its inception in 2011.Someone complains about freezes and crashes from quickplay every other month.
sv_pure 0
  • Allows wallhack
Voting for nocrit
  • Will empty out server randomly because it takes the server off quickplay.
Class limits on regular servers
  • It won't help an imbalance of skill.
Asia/Pacific Server
  • The hardware costs 3x or more than a US or EU server.
  • The bandwidth costs 10x or is extremely limited internationally to the point where it could only support 10 or so players.
  • They cost more than they would probably earn. You will be asking the rest of the community to subsidize them.
  • Poor international connectivity. Countries right outside would still get 200-300 ping.
