I've seen plenty of people who agree that putting hard files in the game is fine, and comparatively fewer more outspoken people who complain about it cluttering levelranks, alienating new users, or other arguments of that nature. There's definitely great arguments to be made on both sides, but for some reason the prevailing wisdom is that basically everyone doesn't like hard files being added, and I question that.

I should ask that on a front page survey, perhaps after the conclusion of the tournament to get feedback on how big events like this are handled.
It would be good to have empirical evidence of exactly what the community views as too many hard files.

Personally I don't care. Being a lower skill player, I mainly just stick to my comfort zone and ignore most of the stuff 75+ unless I'm messing around in MP. Also once again, being lower skill I don't put much of an emphasis on my levelranks..as I just don't really have reason to yet. I really don't think new players will care about either of these topics either.

That being said, I do feel that stepartist basically cater to the D5-7 crowd 90% of the time. It's rare to see easier files added into the game unless its during an official. But on the other hand, the higher skill players are the ones most active around here imo, so it makes sense to generate new material for them.

Idk..it's a topic that goes either way depending on where you are skillwise.
