So, will Quick Join be only looking for servers without any mods on release or will totally new players end up on combat servers and stuff like that?

I don't think I need to explain how big of a problem this is.

Most if not all popular servers will also run server-side mods like NS2Stats or custom maps (which count as mods) and I don't see any good way of supporting that. The popular servers are also those that can actually run the game at a stable 30 tickrate. I think you can guess where the new players are all going to end up and what impression they will have of the game afterwards.

    It would be rather amusing* if it blocked all the servers with mods like NS2stats and DAK, and directed all the unsuspecting new players to the garbage servers that cannot handle the game!

    *by amusing I mean reduce me to tears.
