I'm partial on this. Yes, there are too many money maps, and i'd rather play limited money maps, but...... when i get pissed, and need to let off some steam, hehe. nothing than a good money map to show total ownage. I don't play them because i hate slow cash, i play them because they are a fun break from the normal challenge. You just don't see many normal maps on bnet nowdays though. I will admit though, i am a newb at sc, hehe. I don't 1v1 ever, and i've done it once, and i owned on LT because the guy was a newb himself. I'm kinda scared to 1v1 people online, though, because i know how bad i get owned by most people. and people just aren't nice enough now days to say "You'll get better, just keep it up" or even give you a few pointers for your next game. Now its just "omfg, newb" "you suck" or stuff like that. If you keep beating us into the ground like that, then we will keep playing money maps, because on $maps, we CAN win. At least that is how it seems to me, though. It does make sense, right? And i've been playing SC for about a 1½ years now. The only reason i am a newb is because i devote much of my time to making ums maps. I don't ladder game or melee much. thats my .02 cents
