My only remaining conclusion is that some people have a misguided conclusion that the only way to improve is to throw yourself into the deep end and play strictly the hardest maps. Probably with the mindset that if they bash their heads over and over eventually they'll be able to play super hard maps.

In my experience this does not work and while it is important to push yourself there is a limit to what will actually give you benefit. Also if you "mash" through patterns just to not fail this will just build bad habits for the future.

It's fun to play high star maps. They probably just want to goof around, or pretend that they're better than they actually are by joining high-star lobbies. There are also people that like to play everything with like 3 mod and NF, take noodleshredder for example.

So I am one of these people. As bad as it is in terms of getting better and what not, I enjoy the struggle. If its an easier map, I'll put HR on to make it harder. I find the fun in just trying to pass hard maps and getting high combos dosnt really interest me as much even as weird as it is. Also, I struggle with 4.5-5 star maps and I really enjoy alot of the maps around this range.

so basically you suck and think that if you just make the map hard enough you'll magically be able to play them properly one day?

That might not be what you're actually saying, but that's how it translates to me. And either way, it's stupid as hell. Play them for fun if you want but stick to the proper SR for your rank/skill level, which is likely in the 1.5-2* range. A very miniscule amount of people improve purely through playing shit beyond their means, and you are not going to be one of them.

(PS: you struggle with 4.5-5 maps because they're possibly just inside the range of what you can do, but you never bothered to develop the skills to actually play them because you're too busy flailing on 7* maps and thinking you're having more fun than you are and/or learning something. The secret is that learning the basics of how this game works on the easier maps lets you play the harder maps better.)

I truly don't care about getting better that does not matter to me, as I said,"I like the struggle". Also, I don't think anyone with a brain is stuck to 2*, I see that you got actually mad almost which is kinda insane, LOL.

This so much. I hate how 5* maps have become a dead zone in multi lobbies. This is the map range I enjoy the most and its the range I want to chill with in multi but seems nowadays that people jump straight to 6-7* rooms after 4*. Theres the occasional 5.5* room but its filled with mid 6 digit players and I don't want to join a room as the only 5 digit and be the highest rank by a large margin, unless I feel like putting on NF or EZ. Its a shame since I remember the 5.5* rooms used to be popular even among 5 digit players and I used to go there regularly to relax and find new songs.

You like struggling to climb a 90-degree wall with zero handholds that you will literally never be able to climb instead of the shallower incline with multiple holds and paths that will still lead to a similar 90-degree wall but will also net you skills to make that climb? Stupid as fuck, but you do you.

Also, I get irritated when people play maps way beyond their means and then complain about the game being too hard. The sooner they get the wake-up call and start playing where they should be to gain skill and competency, the better. Or in your case, I'm dumbfounded at your absurdity. Not at you playing those above-your-skill maps for fun, but in seemingly believing you're going to get better that way. You're not. End of story. You can try to laugh it off and dismiss me like I'm mad, but the only two roads you have with that mindset are either quitting or mediocrity with some level of denial. If you can make peace with the latter, then fine.

Thirdly, if your rank is over 1M, you need to be starting on 2*'s maximum as far as skill learning and progression. That's basically non-negotiable. Sure, you might be able to leapfrog from 2* to 3* and so on quickly from there, but it starts at 1-2*.

did u not read that "I dont care about getting better", also you get irritated "when people play above their means". How does this affect you in any way other than living rent free in your head?<-- That goes to everyone else that is sooo concerned about how others play. I get that you guys wanna be the next Mrekk and that little arbitrary number gives you a glass ego but not everyone cares.
