Towards the end they became the pissing-contest, wankfests that inters are. I'm not saying everyone is the same as me, but it's wrong to paint Hi-Skill as the ultimate pub servers. IMO TyD/BC/A&D c. late 2008/early 2009 was better, but this is moot.
The hard part seems to be keeping four or six reasonably skilled players in the same server for long enough, before they disappear for an above-mentioned circle-jerk. On the (albeit, rare) occasions when I do experience an even, mixed-skill pub game, it's the same enjoyment it's always been. My advice is, if you're in an inter, suggest hitting a pub together; reverse the trend. Pick one where someone has admin.

Sorry if it looks like I've singled you out, pweaks; that wasn't my intention. It's just that you've raised a couple of points that I see a lot, but they're rarely refuted.
