The community is not made of mappers only and those mappers who aim to make somehow >perfect< or >rankable< maps aim for >ranked< section that is reserved for people who map for >ranked< so their point of view is "Quality, quality, quality, quality... What the heck is mapping for fun? Quality..." and thanks God now we have the other section that can actually show what the community wants to be the real thing. Remember that the ranked section is not always the place for the maps that are simply loved by the community, the maps still have to be approved by at least two or three members of the staff or/and the BNG. This is how the >quality< is supposed to be gained. Basically, some maps are meant to be liked by the staff and the BNG but disliked by the community, that is a normal thing.
So, now we have the "Loved" section that is supposed to work as the field for those who map for the community even if their mapping skills are somehow lacking or too amazing, or 2in1, or because the ranking process might damage the map too much... or because anything. So, people show their love on some maps and if the maps are loved on the level they can be sent to the Loved section, why the hell are people obligated to shoot kudosu and/or mod them if it's not aimed to polish them more as the maps are polished enough in the actual state? For Lord's sake, not every player or even every mapper is a modder, thus why would they be obligated to gain star priority too? 100 favs are hardcore to be reached but hello, the fact one gained 100 favs and no single kudos means something more than that the other one gained 35 favourites and 400 kudosu from one person who could spend it, where the one who gave all the kudosu is probably the mapper.
And for those who say the SP is needed: try to gain 100 kudosu on your own by modding maps and then spend all the kudosu gained on your map so you can get it loved. LOL
