ThomasduhtrainApparently #tf2mix is a complete shit fest as of late? ... I played like 4 of them yesterday just to see
In the same sentence you are using these words: "complete shit fest" + "as of late", then a few sentences later you clearly state that your sample is only 4 games from one day.
Obviously the average PUG quality will go down a notch when a major site like TF2Lobby is broken, coupled with the promotion from the guys from (newbie mixes). I am grateful of all the promotion the guys are doing for us.
If what you are seeking for is high level PUGs then I would recommend you to wait for the captain round with a bigger player pool. Or even better, wait for the next version of the PUG system, you will like it because that's probably the PUG experience you want.
I am working my hardest to promote the channel while at the same time improve / fix everything related to it. In the meantime if you see behaviors you don't like please inform politely the users first and if nothing is done on their part advise an admin. Yesterday I did hang out all day in the channel and nobody reported to me a major event like that, that needs to be reported because an admin has to pass the message.
Here's the feature / bug list I am currently working on for those who are interested: https://github.com/550/tf2ib/issues?state=open
