I take it they stopped whitelisting due to the e-peen certain parties derived from such an experience. My guess is private servers are a massive priority then. I just wish they would silently whitelist everybody or even just those who apply and institute marshal law on those servers.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like Bart to stop whitelisting just because. My guess is also that a server browser+custom servers are around the corner and he doesn't want to whitelist 500 people and waste the effort.

Folks I like to play with are on my friends list - and the majority of them are no longer ever on. Barring a mass exodus from the game, I figured they were playing somewhere else. The public servers really have suffered. Teamwork seems to be at an all-time low and its especially frustrating to play defense as everyone else seems to be interested in zerging the enemy or trying to cap. Makes for fairly un-fun matches. Ranked Servers - looking forward to those!

And the only way to join a team is to be white listed and have experience in scrims/pus (or be a stand out player and/or know people). So it's almost a catch-22.
