New players joining new servers are often met with a downloading screen. This screen can be quite frustrating for new players as they have to watch the progress of 1 download at a time maxing at 500Kb/s but often downloading slower.
My proposal is to change the default download limit to either max, or much much higher. It is 2014 and the average home Internet is doing nothing but increasing in speed. If the download limit was default to much higher then users would not have to wait nearly as long to join servers, resulting in a less frustrating experience. Then of course if someone wanted to lower the limit of the downloads you could easily change it in settings.
I have tried introducing several friends to this game and this is something they have all complained about. They start by complaining about downloading files, as they just want to try and play the game. Then they notice the speed is quite slow, I tell them they can change it in settings which frustrates them. By the time they get in a game they are already upset by the problems they have experienced.
