imo seeing a 12* getting ranked raises the age-old question,
who are these maps even targeted towards?
its obvious nobody will be able to do this without ht, nf or even both in the near time future. its just too hard. like saltylucario said, we barely even have 12* passes, let alone any 11* passes, so who is realistically going to be able to enjoy this without having to put on literally every single difficulty reducer mod on?
it was just recently that we broke the 10* barrier in terms of getting stuff like that ranked, we don't need to keep pushing for a good 5 years because like i said, nobody will be able to do this stuff at all.
i don't have a problem with hard stuff getting ranked though. it fascinates me somewhat to how difficult people can make their maps, its just that there's clearly no targeted player base for this stuff.
at least for now, maybe in the near future there will be people insane enough to do, what is essentially, 183 bpm jump-streams.
