Typical Goldrush regular:
I LIKE GOLDRUSH BECAUSE I ENJOY PLAYING ON REALLY STACKED TEAMS AND MAKING ALL THE NOOBS RAGE. IT GIVES ME SUCH A SMUG SENSE OF SATISFACTION WITH MYSELF AND MAKES UP FOR THE SENSE OF INFERIORITY I HAVE IN REAL LIFE. PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT SO THAT MATCHES ARE EVEN/BALANCED BECAUSE I WILL CUT MY WRISTS.

Fuck you. How the hell is reducing stacking bad? It makes new players want to avoid the server because they're getting consistently raped every time they play. I don't know how any idiot can argue in favor of making matches more balanced, since this makes for more exciting games, better team play, and greater improvements in player skill.

tl;dr (although how couldn't you, everyone loves caps): it wouldn't be fucking with the server, it would be fucking with team stacking, a legitimate issue.

Why so angry, bro?

I'll just mention that new players avoiding the server is a good thing if your goal is to play with good players. I defy anyone to find a 32 player goldrush server with higher quality play than this one. It is literally the best 32 player goldrush server in the world. Why implement a rule that will just drive all its best players to EVGA? Surely quality of regular play is the highest honor for a server, rather than the distribution of reb/blu wins. 32 player goldrush is a distinct format, different from all other tf2 formats in significant ways. Mastering 32 goldrush is nothing like mastering 12 player 2fort.

If you're unhappy losing on our server, practice 32 goldrush instead of bitching on the forums. If you wanna go somewhere newb-friendly, lotus or drunken brawl usually have a slot open.

Being the best 32player goldrush server is like being the smartest kid with down syndrome. Also stop acting like spamming demo medic kritz combos takes skill.

I should point out that I'm not the one bitching about team stacking. I do just fine when I join. It's just no fun for new players who don't know about the necessary class balance when all the pubstars are on the other team. If teams were evened out, noobs could get BETTER (by learning from good players on their team), pubstars could get BETTER (by playing against players their skill instead of raping young children), and matches would be more EXCITING, because it's more of a struggle and less of a roll.

Also, level of play on goldrush server may be good compared to other goldrush servers, but it's terrible compared to other sourceop servers (eg valve maps 1). I've played on both and have found much more skilled players on valve 1. Mastering all maps is a lot more challenging that spamming stickies on a chokepoint infested map like goldrush. Basically what snarf said.

The desire to master a single map is different from the desire to master any kind of map. 32 player goldrush is the spamming format. That's a different game. You play it to play that game. They're different formats that call for the development of different skills.

Alright fair enough, but personally I don't enjoy the spam kind of game. To each his own, I guess.

EXACTLY.

Which is why those of you who don't play on the server should not get involved in discussions of server policy. We don't tell you how to run rotation, you don't tell us how to run goldrush.

you guys better listen to the goldrush players!!!!.

70% of the top 20 comes from that server they must be pro.
