I think it'd be nice to be able to play slow songs on faster rates and have it still count. It's making the song harder, and IMO, as long as you're good enough to earn an AAA on a song, you might as well get it. It'd still take plenty long to go AAA all the easy songs, especially with how many more songs keep getting added. New people will continue to find themselves deeper and deeper in the hole of easy songs needed to AAA to catch up. I'm too lazy to AAA most of the easy songs as it is. Getting stuff like 50% of FCs is also very annoying and pointless to most players and mostly a test of how long you can go without getting too bored. I just worry that a lot of these are getting to be really uninviting to newbies since they'll soon see like 2000 songs and there are 3 options:
1. quit
2. go through the ridiculously long struggle to catch up
3. just screw level ranks and have fun with the game

And a lot of people that want either 1 or 2 will end up leaving since they don't want to invest nearly the time. Come on, this should be a game of skill, not who can stand to torture themselves for the longest.
