Don't take things out of context. There are plenty of people who what to be better at mapping, but there are a low number of people that would want to deal with random people ignorant of basic concepts.
I am not taking it out of context (I assume)...
You are correct on the point of people who want to deal with new mappers to learn mapping itself is pretty low [I know this because I am "mentoring-ish" 3 people right now and most of my online time was spent with them chatting about making thier maps more raankable and giving then advise on basic mapping] because teaching them even the very basics of picking rhythm is a very pain in the ass especially when they can't grasp the idea that fast.
Putting mentorship programs like these to promote more people engage in making content in this game is a good investment I think. Bringing new people in the scene is better to have a diverse experience of what to expect on the ranked section rather than the same ol' faces that pumps maps non-stop like clockwork and a few others that makes the community be triggered to the fullest.
It's a good step I think for this game; it's just the people make this fail..
