I know there have been countless debates/requests about replacing star rating into somehow different scale, and I know pretty much all of them were revoked.
But as far as I know - new pp uses different algorithm to calculate difficulty of a map and directly apply it to pp, not like the previous pp (iirc which bascially counted the average performance of how others performed on the map)
So here's the question : While the rank is calculated with the new algorithm, Why not just let us know how high the difficulty is? I know people worry about farming pp, but I assume Tom94+peppy's algorithm now pretty much reflects the map's difficulty correctly. So why worry about pp farming? When its difficult is rated high, the pp could be also rewarding.
to be honest nobody cares about star rating except very few new players,(as soon as you can pass something with 5 star, the star rating becomes useless) and even if we decide to keep star rating, I think it would be still nice to be informed about the new difficulty, and it should be also useful to lower-then-average players too, because there are many ☆4.5↓ maps that are harder then ☆5.0 and vice versa.
Plus It would be much easier for us to feedback about the new difficulty algorithm... we can say this shit is much harder then that shit but it's rated much lower when we know about the difficulty, while we can't now
