Suggestion (request) regarding bot server inflation in bo1
-
It would be great if staff could differentiate between bot-filled servers & servers with real players (for bo1).
A 'basic' solution that comes to mind is to place servers with bots in a separate tab in the server browser, perhaps 'unranked servers', instead of being placed with 'ranked servers' and have servers without bots in the 'ranked servers' tab, or vice versa. Doing this makes a clear visual report of whether there are real players playing through Plutonium or not.
Because if people can't differentiate between bot-filled servers & authentically active servers it's very hard for players to gather up on a server & actually play matches. Which is presumably the intended purpose of this platform. It might be some work, coding-wise, but it would definitely be much obliged by folks in this community I think.
Thanks for reading -
Bots will stop counting against the player count soon.
That and many other fixes will be included in the next update. -
This doesn't need a brand new tab and stuff, just needs to be fixed basically, which might be done in the upcoming T5 update

You are right, I agree with you.

To my understanding and from the tests I did, since the new update, this means that there is 1 human player and 11 bots and that the server allows for up to 18 players
Do note that, to my understanding, servers that are not up-to-date will still show with the "fake player count", just like this (explicitly bots) server that's several updates behind
https://getserve.rs/t5mp can be used to get real player count at any times
