Don't try taking away peoples' favorite topic of hate. On this forum, I have seen 3 different sides of SST:
1. You love to hate it
2. You love it
3. You could care less
Most of the people posting in this thread are classified as either 1 or 2.
I have played on SST and on other servers. Most of the complaints I see about SST are either just as bad on most other servers or are worse. That is mainly about body count (someone said something like SST is basically only for high scores) and building (obviously if there are so many build points, people are going to build poorly).
It's better that people looking for a high kill count go to SST than some other server where they either outclass or out-cheat the other players. I was playing a game recently where the scores were pretty much as should be expected (pretty even on both teams, going gradually lower from top to bottom). The only exception to this was one player who had more than 4 times as many kills as the next highest scorer in the game. This was not on SST.
When I play I usually try to do my best at paying attention to what I'm doing and what people are saying. When I've played -- or even built -- on SST, I have seen that between the first or fifth complaint, builders start listening. On other servers, many of the builders are really arrogant and stupid (SST has its share of those too, but they usually get tked). There have been many games where my team was very clearly better than the other team, but we lost because our builders were morons who refused to listen.
At least on SST you have enough build points that people can do stupid things and still have a decent base.
Sorry.
