WTF does this have to do with anything. I'm a mapper/modder. We have a balanced system and it needs to be fair. This decision is reckless on peppy's part and the rules don't have any guidelines for changing approval maps for them to be balanced under this new system. There was no discussion about it. peppy just decided to do it, screw the consequences.
Approval maps were NEVER intended to count towards official ranking.
This was planned like 2938384 years ago. Oh, and it was never intended to make a approval section in the first place afaik, but was made so there were no imba score difference when paraparamax got approved. Then Approved turned into the place to throw maps that didnt fit the ranking criteria.
WELL ANYHOW, this isn't related to pp, yeah.
On-topic: pp is about performance. If you're looking for skill, you wont find it in some numbers, just go spec people and determine yourself.
HD+DT'ing a bunch of [Hard]'s could be concidered a great performance anyway, so saying "lolnoob" is kind of harsh. Still, pp works well, other than some weird mapweightings. (repeating stuff already said in thread like a baws)
