Just saying but the lowest star rating should be set back, be it 2.00* or 1.99* (even tough it should be a bit lower than that) but please, now the mappers won't even try to make it easy enough as they only have to throw random 1/1 sliders with absurdely high spacing and they are going to set AR3-4 because it isn't as dense as Insane, and don't even try to tell me it is not happening as I am stating things in the most realistic way. As long as the star rating is not always the most reliable source of how the maps work we should have more factors than just a few words saying what a true easy/normal difficulty is. We used to make difficulties below 3* in the old star rating system, then that was 1.99* and even then the boundries have always been extended because the easy mappers and modders would say "okay it is acceptable" but it is not going to be the case anymore as the whole community is only going to keep going harder and harder and we will see normals being 3* in around a year time. I am being serious and grave at the very moment, no one is going to bother asking if maps are easy enough, mappers will say "hey, my map is high bpm so it is okay that I have 10 notes in a row as it makes perfect sense, it is countable and it fits the rhythm!", who cares that we have to simplify the map so it is both rhythmical AND beginner-friendly. Also, as we have some people working on the ranking criteria like in the United Knights stuff (I can't remember the whole name of the group, pardon me for that), how about we actually get people who are good at making and judging easier difficulties? Of course they will argue on what is acceptable and what is not, just like Okoratu and Irreversible may argue on what is appropriate for the Insane difficulties, it's the same analogy.
Moreover, that is sad but I do not believe that there are more people like ezek or Bakari that make more than 15% of the BNG and QAT groups counted together who understand how the lowest difficulty should look and play like, and some very particular QAT members know it very well from me first-hand. Just tell me how many mappers in the BNG and QAT we have like, let's say, MkGuh, me or the ones mentioned above who actually care to provide playable maps for the beginners and are in the QAT or in the BNG. Honestly, most of the people there do not care that much about the easies and normals as much as they care about the highest difficulties because "making the lowest difficulties is a pain and no one cares about them" just as said by pishifat. So, how about we change that?
