More clarity on server load & performance indicators

[Zerema 0]

I’d love to see more detailed performance indicators in the server list as clearer real-time load, latency trends, or connection quality metrics. This would help users choose the best server for their needs without trial and error. Has this been discussed before? Would appreciate feedback from others on what metrics you find most useful.

How can the load percentage be conveyed even clearer in your opinion?

Those are highly subjective things depending on your setup, and I don't want to see them as data points in a server overview showing factual data valid for everyone the same way. Load (= bandwidth usage), number of clients and RTT between the servers are factual data valid for everyone, whereas your own latency and "connection quality metrics" are the result of your client's configuration, connection type and its config, ISP, routes, etcetc.
I mean, what is even the definition of "connection quality" in your own words? Preferably something that is valid for you, me and the random reader of this thread at the same time.
