When was the last time any of you clicked on the Unranked tab to look for a server? We all know turning your server unranked is commiting servercide, as nobody will join it. Probably not because it's unranked, but because it's on a separate and forgotten tab of the server browser, where nobody bothers to look.
I personally think this segregation is pointless. There's already the server filter and the server icons next to the server name saying it's ranked or unranked, so having a different browser for each is unnecessary.
I've been asking this since the DDE beta. I was never fond of this segreagation, especially when some server options make the server unranked for no reason at all. Why disabling MKB/AVT and disabling spawn on SL makes the server unranked while bot farming doesn't? I have no idea. That's my main reason of bringing this up again. But now I'm adding a poll, with a new proposal.
Since the text is too long for the poll options, I'll post them here. What should be done about the Ranked/Unranked issue?
-Solution 1: We could join both tabs and leave it as a filter. Keeping the same ranked/unranked system. Server options unchanged; the same options would still turn it Unranked
-Solution 2: Or joining both tabs, leaving as a filter and keeping the ranked/unranked system, but tweaking the server options that turn the server unranked (MKB/AVT and spawn on SL would no longer turn it Unranked)
-Solution 3: Or we could get rid of the entire concept of ranked and unranked, making all servers ranked regardless of the server options (bot farming is the biggest exploit of the ranking system and it's still acceptable on ranked servers, right?).
