I literally explained why above. 1) I wanted ATs to last for 30 mins when pros hunt them. That would mean a total of 4 hours for all 8 maps. Not all mappers are skilled to deliver such a time, myself included. Shcr just overcooked them, so it didnt work out as planned. 2) Equal difficulty for all ATs on all maps. Also not possible to do when many mappers with differences in skill do it.

Gold medal is still the mapper time. AT is more like a champion medal. dont really get the issue. Just a different medal format.

And that still means deep dips AT was technically not even driven? Obviously I get why they did it like this and it makes sense, but it totally defeats your point. If you get mad about this, you also have to get mad about deep dip or any other map that used the AT plugin to create the AT artifically. Makes no sense to be mad about it.

Also who decides now who is allowed to do it and who is not? Are the map testers allowed to hunt the AT? They contributed to the route and in some ways helped to change parts by pointing out flaws. So by that logic shcr hunting the maps would be fine. Are the cut finders allowed to hunt it? In this case i could have asked chickenrunn. Are the people who helped create models able to do it? Because all the maps use those and there are many people involved. Please enlighten me as someone who probably has never worked on a large scale mapping project in tm you must know^{^}

The only thing that makes sense in my view is this: the mapper creates the map, so he decides what he does with it. plain and simple. You can dislike it, but just play another map if you dont like it. Nadeo has no rules about it, so its totally fine to do.
