AC 1.3 or AC 2, Your Expectations and Estimations

Needs

- Making the masterserver official maps only for pubs. Custom maps can be played on match servers.

Why?

Yes, thanks, I also look at the masterserver list daily.

Okay, so suppose we ban custom maps on the pubs. Now these people aren't going to just disappear, they're going to go to unlisted servers to play, and new players are going to come in and then leave and find another game because AC is "dead".

And are we going to throw the baby out with the bathwater? For every crapmap (which, might I remind you, you don't have to play), there's a good custom map that I love to play on pubs. Nobody ever seems to like customs in matches anyway. It's always ingress this and shine that.

So, the way it is currently, maybe a player comes in, finds crappy games on crappy maps, doesn't like it. Instead of looking through other servers to find the variety of the game he gives up. Do we really want him anyway?

I like the more moderate ideas here, or maybe something like just putting the official maps at the top of the list in whatever view, but I don't think that trying to push this so strongly will go over well.
