Most of the clans/communities wants to run a server with official settings because custom servers are not very popular among BF1 players.
In the CTE patch 20th of March, there is an option for 6p start but when I joined to some CTE servers (CQ) player required was still 20p.
So I asked this and got an answer:
"Julian Manolov @_jjju_ · 1hr ago
low player server starting is if one rents a server and creates a custom game with that option enabled"

Why???? It's useless like that. IT should be an Official server setting. Why again like this? I hope this is changed. We can't accept that-it has been the most waited feature among multiple admins.

this is an absolute joke...the whole idea of 6 player start is to get your server populated, if you make 6 player start a custom setting, custom servers don't get populated period....makes no sense!!
Would you get QM traffic?
It is already too late for BF1.
However, DICE will use the new RSP/Platoons/Companion for all future titles for sure.
I'm sure they've thrown in the towel for this game at this stage.
I think next game is 2018 so I would imagine everything will be working and running smoothly by then.
No QM traffic comes to RSP even if used Official setting for some reason. Custom setting is useless, no one uses it and server browser does not properly support it.
Of course if they remove all DICE servers from server browser and make Custom setting as default setting and they bring QM back to RSP using official setup could help with it.
Yeah if the QM traffic worked with a 6 player start I think we could all be very happy even without some of the other missing features from previous titles.
I would have thought it was simple setting to change?
In the RSP launch QM came to RSP servers (around 10 days) until one famous YouTuber complained that he joined to mixed mode server not the mode he wanted to Hassoon and QM was turned off immediately. So QM traffic can be set immediately if they want to. But they do not want it. Same goes with this 6p start, they can make it to official as well quite fast if they want....

Done.
I guess its pointless to make points here because DEVs seem to avoid the Forums (well the RSP section anyway).
So then you have to weigh the importance of stats (zero %) against the importance of your customers (100%).
**They read the forums sometimes and ignore anything the community has to say about RSP, which is a huge shame"
There I fixed it.
I cant help it but compare DICE to Infinity Ward with COD.
Seeing as you have at least some contact with them could you tell us roughly how many devs are working on this? They put out whole games every two years but in six months can't do more than add an admin kick function? I've been a programmer for 25+ years now and frankly one person working alone should have completed the whole thing by now (extra admin functions). Once you have the player move function squared away the rest relatively straight forward. If changing the number of players needed to start a server isn't a 30 second job then you need better programmers.
