cause so many jaymod/silent many of this guys/girls don t even know about et pro.not that i have time to do such a crazy thing,but if i would pick 10 random populated non et pro servers and ask around bout et pro i m sure many never heard bout it,or they heard but never tried it.this ideea ,which imo is wrong,that jaymod and silent are "fun mods" and et pro is strictly for "pro s" is one of the dumbest ideeas promoted in et.

for example i watch forums of this clan called prz clan,they have server parazit called,and i read it often,few days ago there was one of the admins from esl who posted about romanian cup 3on3,just to promote it and get more players,one of the guys from prz replied smt like:"
we are married,old guys,with jobs etc etc and dont have time to be serious in order to play et pro and have a chance on it."so yea,many guys are older than me,and stuff and they use this as an excuse also the fact that they think they have to be "serious",so i think that this is a bad ideea to have in mind,that et pro can t be fun ,pubs or wars,that et pro u need to be serious to play it and have a chance to win(perhaps on wars but on pubs?) .now u would ask me why should i play et pro in fun mode,when i can have same amount of fun in silent/jaymod/nq? i notice some jaymod clans tries to make war teams,but from my experience i can tell u is hard,and very poor chances this will succeed.i know from my experience,and other clans.once u started on a road and u have 90 procent of the ppl going on that road,to take another one without loosing them is hard.

well the reason is,and i think is kinda extreme and u have to be bald to make this,is that if u would populate et pro public servers,u might in time make some of the players be interested in wars as well.which would increase the level of competition player,wich would in the end help the comunity survive better and longer ,which in the end would keep et more alive.jaybird had a remarcable comeback last year when he released jaymod 220 but take a look not so many jaymod 220 servers are populated,also nq had dropped a lot popularity since silent,is like in real life with the tech every time smt new appears ppl run like headless chickens to grab the new stuff.this will happen with silent mod sooner or later too,unless there will be no more new mods developed for et.so why not stick to smt old school that has a chance to last trough time?

also the rating players:now this is beyond my imagination and power of understanding.they "work hard" to keep rating up,they make frag movies,which imo are lame,they basically doing the same thing that u must do in competition games and that is ...win.most of them are what is called rambo medics that s true,but if they would use their potential in a simple fun 6on6 match,i think that it would be more good.

f|a,lost soldiers,even uce guys(that admire for so many maps),take this ideea in consideration,although i m sure none of you will even think bout it:turn your most populated servers in et pro servers for 24 hours only and see what s happening.ask people around how they felt,they will probably whine in the begining but they might like it in the end.
