Why can I rank easier on old songs?

I have about 6,000+ songs for Osu and Ihavent played more than 2,000 of them.
But i recently discovered if i play the really shitty old charts from like 2007 I rank up a LOT.

I can get an S with 8,000,000 points and go up... +8 ranks.
But I can get the same exact thing with a B with 2,000,000 points and go up +8 ranks too if the song is really old.

I just went up 200+ ranks for getting an S on a chart and only getting 2,000,000 points.

Whats up?

Because don't many people bother to get good scores in bad maps.

Also there are several old maps that have fallen to obscurity.

Pretty much, you're one of the first people to the cake.
The rather.. old cake.

Old maps usually are worse. People knew less about mapping and ranking criteria weren't as strict. Doesn't mean all of them are shit, but today's maps are generally better.

ranked maps too mainstream
aqo biggest hatter since she and uncle buly

also adding on to the first few posts, people don't bother to fix their old scores either, so high ranked players might have crap scores on old maps which tend to give you a good boost

but it's not like you would get more pp or anything just because they are now higher ranked players. I think there's even a feature request about this (it won't work).

old maps are actually more fun to play than the current ranked ones

hmm idk, i actually thought you'd get more pp for beating higher ranked players

well still, a lot of the scores are very crappy since they're very early plays

So sad that actual good mapping elements like ninja spinners, AR6, and mtmcl-flow aren't used anymore.

I like old maps but not for the mapping techniques, just for appreciation. Everyone would quit if all maps got reverted to 2008 standard.

Who cares whether they're old or not. Just play 'em~ :P

I had to admit that some of my best performance maps in the list are coming from old maps though... <.<;;

Nothing to be ashamed of, they actually pose a unique challenge so ranking on them is an accomplishment.

Imo your most ridiculous record is from an old map: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/1137

Since not many people play the harder maps maybe? Maybe it's just easier to gain rank while playing on older maps, I've heard some cases on where a player will gain rank easier on harder ranks since it's played more? XD

But I had to play that map for about 300+ tries. I know it's fewer than your play count, but that's still quite an effort to get a right offset (I got +30ms in the process. Thank goodness the BPM is perfect) and the accurate aim. I could do faster if the CS isn't just that small.

(To be honest, I didn't even expect myself to get such Hit Error and Unstable Rate... :? As a side note, I got 0pp on that.)
