Declined Harvest is not a map for 32 players

[MoonSafari]

Hey, I noticed that Harvest EU changed to Harvest EU+ (with 32 players instead of 24). I'm playing here now and me and everyone else is complaining that the map is way too crowded. Harvest is already a tiny map. 32 players makes this map unplayable.

If there's more people, that's a good thing.

Why?

1. More people to get acquainted with
2. More people to kill
3. More publicity, activity and donors, which helps Skial grow.

Also, how does an extra 8 slots deem the map unplayable?

I've played 32 player harvest and I love it. The added chaos makes it more fun for me.

1. Battles are cluttered. A spam fest becomes an easy and successful strategy to kill a lot of players.
2. More particles to load, FPS drops
3. Teamwork is harder

If loading is an issue then that's something you need to fix on your end. I play on an MacBook with the lowest graphics settings and it's no problem for me. Spamming and lack of teamwork would happen in a pub regardless of player numbers because it's a pub.

harvest nerd here

32 players is fine

a bunch of people often (rage)quit at the end of the round so having more players on is nice
