How do you propose new gema players find gema servers if not in the masterlist?Thats not what we observe at all. Nobody wants to play inter with unknowns/newcomers who get destroyed anyway. I'm pretty sure theres a higher growth in the gema community than in the competitive community actually. (the only interface for the latter is these forums)
Not to mention interclans and gemas aren't symmetric since one is something we want to support officially and encourage and the other is unofficial and an alternative to the main gameplay.
So my view on this is : i only /care/ about the gamemodes i want to work on in priority. And i don't want the others to interfere negatively, as this is currently the case. I don't really mind personnally about the visibility of gema servers for instance ;
The real problem is that because of AC infrastructure, if we want to choose a direction for the gameplay, we need to get rid of the alternatives, from the masterserver. Note that i consider that the real problem is the infrastructure and not the alternative gamemodes themselves. And i know some gema players tried to turn it into a fight between them and devs but i refuse this fight because it would make everyone forget about the root of the problems.
Instead, i suggest that we stop wasting efforts - and while "we" work on improving AC itself, we try to make gemas less unappealing for newcomers, whatever is the solution we come up with for that.
