I think ultimately the main goal of GR is *not* to create a "more curated TF2 experience." Unironically, TF2 Classic did a better job in that regard.
Every weapon grandfathered into TF2C from TF2V [vanilla/"live"] had significant impact on the game, and was a healthy addition.
Every weapon added that's bemoaned as "not classic"? Malignant-autism pilfering that fails to recognize that a completely separate and novel grenade launcher with separate mechanics and tactics is far more in-line with the classic Huntsman-style design of creating a new weapon, than the post-2010 Scorch Shot-style design of just changing numbers.
Ultimately I think the goal is for e-celebs like Richter Overtime to get their own "digital fiefdom". Like, the workshop/trading sites basically own TF2V and walk it around with a string tied to the game's nuts. They control most discussion, silence dissent, whatever.
Instead of being a fucking man, and engaging with these people on their level, trying to expel them from the community with campaigns of - let's be real - targeted harassment [which at this rate is deserved], people like Richter chicken out, and resort to making their own pissing ground where they can control the narrative, make their shitty autistic decisions, and force everyone to deal with it. Instead of unclogging the toilet, they just start shitting in the living room. It won't reduce the shit, it'll just make the shit more common and harder to deal with down the road.
IF the TF2GR team actually gave a fuck about making a good experience, they would not autistically focus on shit like FOV and autoreload. They'd care about making the game actually good, and probably also give the players more freedom-of-choice when it comes to gameplay; not grandfathering-in and violently defending Valve's first instance of shitting up the game for Competitive.
