OMG. He said it. ∑(O_O;)

IMO, I feel like level ranks and scoring are notions only experimented players are able to grasp and that it may not be attracting to beginners. Though it has some really nice advantages and I believe it is a great motivation for improving at the game.

Now I feel like we should split the official FFR engine in two, where one section would have the official songs that would count towards the rankings, and the other one could regroup songs that are in the game for practice purposes or fun factor that would not influence anything. This way, we could have V2's of the blue note files in one section and V1's could be unlocked in the other one.

Hell, the practice section could even include warmup songs, joke songs like Vrofl or *Whimper Wall*, tournament songs and even stepfiles that are currently in the submission queue. There's more to think of but as of now, this would solve many current issues.
