We don't need server browser, we need persistent matches that keep players

The server browser topic has gotten a lot of traction but I dont see it ever being a possibility for all out warfare due to how the game is built and it being a huge undertaking. What I think people...

Server browser trades one set of problems for another.  

Some negatives with server browser that I'm not seeing discussed:

1) People preferring to wait in queues rather than seed new servers.

2) Out of region players.  The MM in BF2042 seems pretty aggressive at keeping players in region.

3) Team stacking/unbalanced teams match after match.

The MM only approach for BF2042 is a crude solution to those problems, but it is a solution. Ideally there could be a server browser added that could also provide solutions for those problems.

    Certainly some people will prefer the advantages of the server browser, but I think the ultimate preference will come down to the individual.

    Personally I'm 55/45 for keeping things the way they are. And I'm 100% for a solution that adds a server browser AND manages to solve the classic server browser problems.
