Converts of the same star rating are (generally) a bit harder because of the way the star rating works, overrating hyperdashes. CTB specifics have (usually) consistent jumping, with patterns steadily increasing the star rating; converts (speaking mostly for insanes and below here) have sections that translate into really little spacing (so they increase star rating a tiny bit), and then a really hard pattern (1/4 spread sliders, timing jumps) comes and shoots the star rating, creating a sudden difficulty spike that makes them harder to FC, while both are the same star rating.

inb4 this is the worst explanation ever and noone understands.

Well converts are imo more worth playing than CtB specifics since they are all getting repetitive as of now.

It's been so long and people still can't play for simple enjoyment

Please, this is really a rude conversation against the ctb mappers who are still keeping their progress for enjoyable maps.

Its simple
Convert map : not made for ctb so we have cancer patterns we have to retry 1 million times to pass them
CTB map : No cancer at all , can be fc easily , we miss only because of skill

i would have to disagree on something here, some CTB maps actually are "cancer" or the sweet pp talk

Well, in my opinion, it was fun to play in 2009-2011, because everyone had an equal chance to get #1 on maps, top players were tough at that time,but with some practice everything was possible Here is an example : https://osu.ppy.sh/p/beatmap?b=47686&m=2
I was the second man who made FC with no mods here, the first one was kenji, and we all would NEVER ever think, at that time, that someone will make not just Hidden, but Hidden+HR !!!
Now it's very hard to take #1's, because players became too strong, and ExGon has some kind of monopoly here, in my opinion, which I salute, I'd do the same if I could, and actually, for example, because of me and Louis long time ago many beginners quit this game, because we were taking all their places It was fun, it was exciting, and it became a motivation for many players to increase their in-game abilities and improve their skills Now I feel myself just like these guys, who gave up, because nothing is eternal and it's a normal thing, cause each era has it's own heroes - There was a talented HD+DT player mikhe (who spoiled himself and became a FL cheater, screw him), there was kenji, there was Darksoul, misa, LirsRosso (another cheater) and many many other players..then came joynama, then Shana, then Velperk - each of these guys had his own time but most of them quit now..I am proud to call myself a good old player and I hope that this monopoly will fall one day, and I hope, that there won't be any cheaters anymore

I wouldn't say it's too hard to get a #1 these days, it's just hard to keep one because if you get a rank 1 with HD or HD+DT, you're always going to be worried if someone will take it with HR, which usually will happen eventually. Thankfully I use SS and score farming to motivate myself to keep playing, while still practicing hard maps here and there, I still get tons of enjoyment out of playing and I don't plan on quitting any time in the near future.

Also happened to do this last night..

Holy shit Zak played no mod

And then Deif still kicked my ass lmao
