MR_SLINI think that the TF2 dev team handled everything pretty well given these circumstances, and while they may not be able to satisfy everyone, I think that they've done a good job and that's why I have faith in them to make the best decisions for their game moving forward. People will always want more updates in less time with more content, but they've done the best that they can and that is commendable.
Do you actually believe what you're saying? The dev team handled everything pretty well? They worked on MM for two years and what they gave us is a pile of shit. What exactly took them two years? Creating a barely working server infrastructure and some new HUD elements? Because they surely didn't spend their time playtesting, balancing weapons, classes, creating tutorials or anything. How do you call that "handling pretty well"?
"oh, its because they're a small dev team". I don't care. Even if they are just three interns in two years they should have been able to create a properly balanced 6v6 format. If they wanted to. Because all the info they needed was here on tf.tv all along. Any of the top players could give them the balance suggestions they obviously need. But no, instead they make a survey asking the pubbers who tried MM : "was the game gud? yes/no" Yes, that is surely going to give them a lot of useful information.
"but communicating with the community is not their way" Then their way is shit. A no-communication format would only work if the developers were competent and understood their own game perfectly well. Clearly they don't.
Honestly, if you are so confident in your way of helping Valve, go organize a cup with a 5v5, 7v7, 8v8 format, no class limits and balance changes. See how many people sign up. The answer is probably not many, because nobody wants to waste their time with this.
