I was more or less referring to your statement "I was shocked to see that you made this". By that I presume one would expect me to stick with what I know and make the same sort of files I've been making in the past. I'm glad you can appreciate different styles of stepping, but it sure sounded like you expected one thing out of me.

More importantly, as I've quoted earlier:

guys, review sensibly!!!

Well there's your problem. You're going to get an extremely plain chart without mines (only appears in heavy). I don't know why people turn off mine when they REVIEW charts. That's like writing a math test without knowing some of the formulas. You're missing a great deal from it.

I saw this coming from a mile away and am still miffed that people still review files without turning on the essential components. Put freezes on. Put mines on. Then review.

if one user doesnt like your file it doesnt mean everyone hates it so try not to get offended or annoyed if someone doesnt like it

I can take a review. What I don't take is when people do not play the files as they should be and then base reviews off of that. Or, review solely off the hardest chart assuming that any other difficulty would be boring. It is no less ridiculous than someone making a review on a negative bpm xmod file while trying to play it with cmods.
