I feel like it's almost essential playing the "low" star maps at least until you can get literally 0 performance points out of them. I personally almost completely skipped 2-3 star maps (I played literally like only 5-10 of them when I was supposed to) and I remember playing 4-5 stars with s*** accuracy and consistency thinking it was fine... It wasn't fine - I didn't know how to read at all. I was thinking this was some sort of fucking aim trainer instead of a rhytmgame.

I can't relate, never had this problem, i even thought going for C passes was not worth it when some of my friends said otherwise. I'm doing passes a bit more often now but nothing close to this disease

Didn't even know pp was a thing and i literally never logged in to check my account until my friend was talking about his account. Then i started farming a little but i still find just playing maps i like for fun mroe fun than farming.

4-digit 10* player illness when

A very similar phenomenon is present in osu!mania as well. the star rating system for 4key mania is pitiful at best (star rating = object density; which is a very poor measure of difficulty for this style of rhythm game) and as such the skillsets needed to improve ones osu!mania rank at 4key arent nessecarily the skillsets needed to improve overall.

its quite common for a lot of intermediate level players to learn how to alternate their hands quickly to "manipulate" patterns into something easy to hit with passable accuracy and due to the nature of osu!mania's scoring system, you can get a good-ish score without actually playing the chart. As such, you'll have lower level players getting plays >100pp above what they're otherwise capable of doing. When this happens the players likely get a false sense of progression or "skill" and continue to push forward mashing through charts of a certain style of pattern.

the 4digit to low-5digit range is filled with players whose primary skillset is merely alternating their hands quickly to cheese dense bursty patterns, and i'd argue the situation present in osu!mania is worse due to a negetive feedback loop being created by the poor star rating and scoring systems rewarding purposefully suboptimal play.

im a 7 digit (1000000) and i can do 5 stars and sometime 6, im trying to do 7 star maps but i need a little bit more training, i played harumachi clover expert and got to rank 950k in one play. i don't think doing hard maps is a bad thing, i actually think it's a very good thing to train yourself. if you can do very hard maps, the easier maps will be easier to get high acc and fc on

The amount of people who only play maps that are far too difficult for them and and can get good accuracy and consistently FC easier maps is 0. Not even joking.

I remember when i was playing multi a lot i found sooooo many room in which 7 and low 6 digit are playing 6-8star maps and thing i never understand that how they are enjoying it. I mean they cant even get 10 combo. how you can enjoy a map which you cant even play.

for me the fun maps were those which are hard and somewhat possible to pass like fallen 5star which is damn hard but i can pass it after some more practice

maybe it makes them feel like a god or something when they actually hit something idk. It might also be that seeing all these top players doing all that stuff really well is so enticing that they just wanna copy it as well, kinda like how when people see TenZ playing aimlabs really well they just copy him by going fast instead of focusing on accuracy.
