I never struggled that much either, to be clear, my point was more that earlier on it became somewhat split, and then having some friends that could/couldn't afford premium would split which matches they were able to play (and thus limited the total number of servers that could offer a full map rotation, etc). Later on when it would go on crazy sale that would be great, but it was frustrating for some (granted, in some cases our friend group would just buy it for the one or two odd-men-out, but that can't be done always)
