i agree. Getting your first ranked map is always a major milestone c:xxdeathx wrote:
Also I disagree that getting a ranked map is no longer a privilege or is something you shouldn't feel special about. It's something that inspires and motivates people, don't crush that hope away. It's something that honestly keeps the process alive and actually keeps people trying to rank stuff.This. Kurai, it was somewhat insensitive to downplay the prestige of getting a ranked map, because it still is a wonderful achievement that people damn well should be proud of. The increased size of the BNG doesn't do anything to diminish that, only makes it accessible to more people who might not have been able to get a hold of one at first. You can't compare ranked maps to MBC or charts, those are different things for different people. I sure don't participate in MBC because I'd have no fun mapping songs I didn't come across myself and can wholeheartedly dedicate myself to. But I do celebrate every rank I get and stalk the stats and feedback several times a day for quite a while afterward.
@Dake, i thought it was 2 per month
