I earned the right to voice my opinion about the game the first time they ran my credit card through.  I give to the community as match as the community gives me. No more no less.  As you said, it is very hard to create a map is I would think it is easier to fix the old ones than to create new.

Do you have the same attitude with all your service providers?  Maybe I should design my own airplanes and flight models or that altitude applies to maps only?

You didn't "earn" anything, you paid for the use of HTC's servers and their game. The game we have now could possibly be the only game they are going to put out for awhile, these maps included. You don't like it, don't waste your money on it.

Your "demanding" HTC do something about the maps carries about as much weight as if you "demand" your ISP do something about your connection.... none. Your only option is to not send your money to them any more.

Suggesting to a subscriber to build his own map is just that, a suggestion. I, like you have a life outside the game, and while I would love to "contribute" by building maps or skins, I just don't have the time. On the other hand, why would you try to poison someones thinking with comments like "its not our place to build maps, that HTC job" , "we shouldn't have to fix their game", "Thats what I pay them for!" or many of the other comments posted here. Great, you don't have the time, but don't discourage others from taking the time. to add to the game.

Huh?  Where did I say I did not like it?  So, I can't ask for anything more especially when I know it already exists?  Its OK though.  i got the same responses when I asked for a perma squelch future so the kids don't have to hear what the community has to offer.

really???  If your connection doe snot work you don't ask to be fixed?  You wait for some other customer to create a new one and hope you can can use it?
I am not demanding anything btw.  Those are your words.

Yeah, but that is the answer every time someone asks for a new map for the past 5 years.  More over, it comes from the customers not HT.  Who exactly do you people think you are to know what HT is or isn't capable of or how match time they have.  Converting one of the old maps could be a 1 month job or if they have some converter program it could be 30 seconds.  Who exactly are you to claim you know so match about HT  
I ask, and if they can fine.  If they can't I'll ask again latter.  What I don't need  is some one I did not ask for anything and is not his job to answer the question telling me why I should not have it.
I am not discouraging or poisoning anything.  If any one wants and has the time to create a map great.  I just don't think it should be the customers job to do it.  Do you understand the difference?

However on the old maps its not as simple as just dust them off and put them back in. The objects used were different, the whole game engine has changed over time.
To redo those maps means they have to be rebuilt FROM SCRATCH!

Oh God why can't I keep out of stuff like this?

Not true, all of the MA maps on the download page are up to date for the current version and can be used.

Going back into my shell that lasted almost 2 days.
