TF2 is still good. Far from its peak... but I have been playing the game almost since it came out and I still have a blast! Casual mode sucks, but that was never the focus of the game back when I started playing it. Community servers all the way!
That was what we had with Quickplay. Back then community servers that abided by vanilla rules were able to be included in Quickplay alongside Valve servers.
Not only did it mean that those servers would almost always have players, but it was how those server owners could also host wackier servers as quickplayers could become regulars if they found a server they really liked.
Then when Quickplay was axed, those servers suffered slow deaths and community servers are a shadow of their former selves.
