Take this as you will

I'm sure the flames will roll in soon enough.

First, let me say that I usually enjoy a game or two on your servers from time to time. I never see any tgb on but its likely because of when I play (early mornings). I appreciate the fact you run the servers I play on because as our clan has one too, and having admined my share of them in the past, I know its not fun at times and a PITA at others.

I wanted to point out something that I felt needed to be said and is a sentiment that I have heard several times in your servers in the morning. Its about the plugin you use that tricks battlelog into thinking there are more players on than there is. I believe its set to about 12-14 players that aren't really there. I totally get why you do it, because its hard to get a server to fill up if there's no one in it. Our clan usually tries to all get in the server in the morning and normally we have it fill within a few games. Using this plugin or server hack (hack as in workaround, obviously) is probably something you guys felt was necessary to maintain a populated server for the several you run. I get that. But I wanted to just point out another point of view, a different side to your choice.

There are many players, like myself, who are adults, with jobs and kids and lives. We love paying the games as much as the most fervent pre-teen, the most obsessed fan boi, etc. The difference is our commitments to, well, life make our playing time limited. We want to try and maximize our playing time with good games and we choose our servers carefully. Logging in to a server that says it has 14 players, expecting to help crank the server up and have a good game sucks when you find its just you and another guy flying jets and messing around.

I know you likely will not find this a compelling reason enough to change your use of this plugin or trick or whatever, but I did want to point out another reason some people might find using it kind of lame and disappointing. Your members page has quite a few players. I'm not sure why you can't motivate at least a few to help crank the server legitimately but then, as a member of a clan, I also understand how hard it is to get guys to help out sometimes.

All in all, I really like the servers you have and hope they thrive. I just wanted to point out what others are saying in game (including myself from time to time).

Thanks

They are real accounts. One of them being mine and another founder as we gave up playing bf4. People have either donated their accounts or purchased new ones. We paid close to 600$ worth of accounts. I can provide all origin login names (not pass obviously) if you would like that.

There is no hack. Simply idlers of real accounts that join but not spawn in. After being kicked it repeats. But I understand this approach is something you wouldn't know and seems frustrating.

And costly just to host this on multiple machines. No plugin at all and nothing forbidden about it.

Enjoy the servers.

First off, thank your for your input. We welcome it, good or bad. Though, regards to the issue at hand, Fast just answered. What servers do you like to frequent? As INF/RUSH servers are less frequented by our BF4 members. I try to play on those servers at least once a day to make TBGs presence known; unfortunately, like you said, we all have lives outside of gaming. Again, thank your for the feed back @B00y4 .
Hope to see you on the battlefield.
