Trying to find a decent map in the graveyard is like trying to find diamonds in the landfill. Yes, there are VERY good maps that don't fit the ranked criteria (look at my favorited beatmap list), but those are just a small percentile buried under a sea of poorly made, half-assed, and improperly timed maps.Alright, I've been meaning to say this since the thread started, and now would be a good time to say it.I know I'm just a beginner; for three months I've been playing this game. Being a beginner, I really want to play some of the maps you all create, but the simple fact that I cannot play a 7* map stops me from doing so. Ranked maps require an easy\/normal difficulty, so most of those are a godsend to players such as myself. Finding a song that isn't ranked that I can actually can be frustrating sometimes.Now, I'm not saying graveyarded maps are trash, there are so many that are incredible, like this one<\/a>, this one<\/a>, this one<\/a>, the list goes on and on! However, the way I see it, maps cannot stay Pending or WIP forever; they either get ranked or they don't. 99% of the maps that get graveyarded suck or are simply unplayable, which is why a ranked section is required with strict rules and guidelines (a \"necessary evil\").The maps that are incredible and are not ranked tend to explode on their own anyway (yes, I'm looking at you, Evening<\/a>). But they are not ranked because they are under 5:00 and do not have an easy\/normal difficulty. And that alright. It's just by coincidence that PLANET\/\/SHAPER got ranked, for it's 6:00 long. Now, I couldn't tell you myself, but I believe Evening's maps are of a very high quality and even though they aren't ranked are still enjoyable to play. But again, the ranked status is necessary because if there was no ranked status to strive for, no new players would ever play this game and the community would die out due to a lack of playable maps.\/rant<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/center><\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n ColdTooth<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 1,107 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed June 2012<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n ColdTooth<\/a>\n\n \n 2017-01-24T02:58:24+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n johnmedina999 wrote:<\/h4>Hobbes2 wrote:<\/h4>No, the thing is every map is good it's hard to subjectively quantify a map as good or bad.
