Am I the only one incredibly annoyed by this? If the server is full, it should not let me join and waste my time at the loading screen. It is very irritating to have my time wasted like this and servers which do it should be put on a blacklist or something.
For example, there is a server with 23 slots, but it kicks anyone when there are > 16 players. So you click on the server when it's in the browser thinking you will get in and are kicked out as soon as you're finished loading. There's no way to even know it's capped at 16 until you join.
This is awful, awful, awful, awful awful, and ruins the browsing experience completely. The browser is basically meaningless now if you try to filter out full servers.
Edit:
Per this post by IronHorse, UWE may provide better support for reserve slots in the future. If so, that should resolve this problem for most servers, assuming they choose to implement the new system. I consider this a good thing. =p
