HEY I HAVEN'T READ THE THREAD
LET'S COMMENT ON IT.
Anyways like as much as I'd LOVE to say "Yeah go ahead let's do it!", since I'm the king of single-diff mapsets, you have to realize that songs must be accessable to everyone.
Idunno, I think it'd be a bit unfair if someone found a song they really liked get ranked and ended up not being able to play it because it only has 1 diff.
Plus, honestly, who would make an easy diff is it wasn't required by the game to do so? Like, nobody did it for Taiko, because it was pointless, when you could edkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkddkdkkddk all the time instead of having to tone it down. If rules are removed, practically nobody will make easies.
However, I do agree that single diff mapsets should be allowed back into Approved. I have my official two best maps (Both collabs) in approved, and I get to trade off less playcount and a more intense ranking system to being able to rank a single diff mapset.
Idunno, when I see this game, I see mappers as developers. Wouldn't it suck if developers were like "Hey, we got lazy, so let's just only make content for one group of people, sorry newbies, lool xdd." I also always saw that people mapped to get their favorite song out to the community. I started off mapping because I really liked the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and wanted to share it with the community. That didn't work out, but I eventually got my first map ranked, I.M. Crazy. People loved it. Some people even joined the game to play it. And they played it on easy mode, because that's what was accessable to them. And they loved it. Because it was accessable to them. They could work harder to hit the higher diffs, sure, but for that moment, they were able to enjoy content at a level that they could handle.
I find it silly to extend the single diff mapspread over to the ranked section, quite honestly, especially for the reason of "Oh, nobody wants to mod it / map it!" This is a game, a fairly large game at that, and as developers of content, mappers need to look at appealing to EVERYONE. Approved is a different story since it is told that it is for harder maps / special maps, and it is harder to get things approved for there, but for the general ranked content, it's just silly. If you want to do things lazily and expect a reward at the end, then this is not the game for you.
