Agreed!

It's not all about making it more realistic. But making it more exciting. In my opinion.

I understand everyone who's fearing having to play on empty servers all the time. And I guess that could be a problem. But that problem could be solved by having a server list filter option called "Show only populated servers". You know you're not joining an empty server but you don't know if there's 1 or 39 players on it. I don't think muting players can be a big problem, since you can only hear/see what they write when in proximity of yourself. And I do agree that friends might have to show up in the server list. Other than that, I stick too my first post. No red lights, no percentage.

Please tell me why.

Is it really necessary to have a player list in-game? And to be able to see how many people are on the server you're joining. Doesn't that undermine the realism and makes the game less nerv-wrecking? I think people rather choose a low populated server when they're poorly geared and when they're geared up they rather play on a high populated server. Personally I think it would be much more exciting if you never know how many players are on a server. You could perhaps still be able to see the maximum amount of players, but anything beyond that is too much information in my opinion. Though I guess most people will disagree. /Kivi
