Any rating is bound to be subjective, objective viewing is just an illusion. You cannot have anything objective. We all view things trough our own understandings, so nothing is objective.

@ Willem van Oranje yes maps fall in rating trough time. That is because at first the map is rated by people that know you and give favorable rating, as time goes by more and more people rate the map (that aren't your friends) and in time, after 2000 votes it gets somewhat accurate rating. Rating is not an indication how good a map is, it is just an indication now much people like playing it.

In short "I would rather have a map rated 4.2 with 3000 number of ratings than have a map 6.5 with 150"

if there is nothing objective how could there anything be subjective?

You're exaggerating a bit. After 50 ratings it's already quite stable, and even the Europe map has only 2200 ratings.

@ Ranek

You have gotten it opposite, everything is subjective and nothing is objective + (of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts. Can anything you judge be not influenced by anything other that this if you judge it. By definition it's all subjective.

@Moros

Yes a little bit, but I felt that a bit exaggeration is needed to capture my point. And 50 rating is just (excuse mt language) bullshit (you cloud have 20 alts and 20 friends, that not reasonable rating) it's needed at least 600 to get into a debatable place here.

Again rating is just, HOW much people LIKE playing your map, not HOW GOOD IT IS. it MEANS NOTHING so don't get stuck into rating.

^ HOW GOOD THE MAP IS = HOW much people LIKE playing your map = HIGH/LOW RATING

Do people (as in: more than three or four famous folks) seriously have 20 alts?
Usually only the first 10-15 are friends, after that people start to notice the map at the top of the list and rate it more critically. But the next time I release a map I will try to write it down.

I know a friend with (literally) 59 alts

Apparently i have an imposter now?

Wow, I didn't notice it wasn't you Chris!

Hm....username taken?!? Why in earth does warlight not have this?

I think creating accounts with a fake email is more of a problem.
