BF4 Private Servers Getting Prioritized Over DICE Official Ones

Hello,

It's definitely frustrating to experience that inconsistency with the quick search feature in Battlefield 4 on console. You're right, it does seem unfair that your privately owned server needs a player threshold to populate via quick search, while other private servers appear to get priority and pull players in from an empty state. Unfortunately, the exact mechanics of the Battlefield 4 quick search algorithm aren't publicly documented by DICE.
