so i dont really care what you do about it just want to point out an issue.
et isnt fun to play (for most people) its fun for the socializers the guys and gals that hop onto the server with a bunch of friendly people they know who they may or may not be chatting to on discord. Yes even i too have fun when theres people i know on.
the hardcore solo nerds who can overlook the fact that 3/4 deaths are unfair and unavoidable result from spam keep playing on. Doesnt matter what weapon your using, even if you're using panzer it affects you too.
but eventually those nerds will quit out of frustration, and only the socializers will be left, eventually they too will gain other hobbies or move on as other important matters take place in their lives.
ive tried making 6 friends of mine play et, and all of them could almost instantly recognize the game wasnt enjoyable and quit.
now if your in the social group above you are having fun. but i urge you, try cg_teamchatsonly 1 or join a crowded fa server where none of your friends play, and just try playing the game as a new player would experience it and see if its enjoyable.
the unluck involved in spam not only affects people going for score, but also the objective play of the game.
anyway what im just saying is et is slowly bleeding out its playerbase ofc part of that has to do with the core design of the game (not going to explain it all), but reducing the spam would make it somewhat more playable for both the hardcore and new player catagories..
Chrisy's later post makes it clear that she does mean the weapons-spam : https://fearless-assassins.com/topic/100380-just-a-note-on-spam/?do=findComment&comment=834486 and that she does enjoy the chat-spam.
