if any of you play on the 1 & 2 servers you would have most likely came across a particular clan that come in roughly as a 4 man group.
They take the demo classes and incessantly spawn-kill with explosives not giving players, especially new players a chance to play the game. This forces people to leave and avoid the server. Attrition of new players isnt a problem as it will always get populated but some of the top ranked players, (myself included) are now looking at other servers where said clan are already banned. (USMC, TBG, CLANVPP etc)
I have been on the servers maybe 3 times the past month when i used to be on pretty much everyday because of this toxic group. I think XI is one of the only main servers they haven't been pulled up on it. Fair enough they have been scrambled into different teams when an admin is present but its not enough.
the whole server turns toxic, the match becomes pointless and everyone hates the experience.
im all for well placed explosives and the odd lesson teacher as we've all done it when we get the chance but sitting in a restricted area at point B when A isnt even taken yet waiting to spawnkill 15+ guys when its capped is a joke.
spawn protection should be added to the servers to at least curb it or those guys should be banned if they abuse the restricted system.
spawnkilling has been an argument forever with it being a mechanic of the game but protectors should be considered.
