Sure, but it's not
purely subjective. There are objective metrics that can be evaluated to determine whether or not a file is "good" on a general scale. Of course people will have preferences, nobody is arguing against that.

No hypocrisy. The token requirement didn't change, the file was just made public because it was enjoyed by the community so much that we demanded it be public instead of gated behind an FSO AAA. Miku is an odd case since it had already been publicly available for about a week before being
tokenized. Surely, if that hadn't been the case, it would still be there today.
My point was simply that the game's best content, current example be damned, should not be walled off to the majority of the player base.

I can't relate to your example since I started League in Season 7, but legacy files were NOT removed from
ranks.. unless you mean in the sense that Leaderboards only account for top 15 which made grinding legacy files for avrank meaningless. They were simply removed from default view when playing the game so that new players don't run into lower quality content and get deterred from the game.

But it doesn't need to be that hard just because it's been done by others in past.

You're missing my point. It's not that I'm grasping onto nostalgia and new players should be forced to endure the same hardships as me, it's that there is
literally nothing implicitly wrong with the requirement, so it does not need to be changed.

Btw list format was to make it easier to type thru my phone.

Token Whore was probably intended to be the final skill token, but the community wanted more. I think a case could be made for creating a series of Achievement Tokens based around the concept of total tokens earned, and your any-100 requirement would fit well there. --I just can't justify overwriting the Token Whore requirement when it's still attainable by normal means.
