In the words of TotalBiscuit: "It's my channel, I can do what I like on it! If I wanted to make videos of just Hello Kitty Online, I could! It wouldn't be popular, but I could do it!"
Obviously that's talking about a youtube channel, but it also applies to this. Blizzard can do it because they are blizzard. If we don't like it, Blizzard can just tell us to "f--- off" and keep doing it. They could even shut down the editor completely and only released Blizzard made UMS maps. Nobody would like it, but Blizzard wouldn't have to care because they are Blizzard.
Maybe just maybe, they want to test again, for one last time... Do players just play maps on 1st page of popularity? Maybe they wanna know if, by putting their maps on 1st page, it would boost number of hours played. They can see their number. We can't
So are you saying Blizzard's employee such as David Kim or D. Browder are allowed to compete in GSL? then they have hidden key combination to add 10000 resources and reveal map just to screw Koreans?
And how is it cheating.... when they made the game? Man... please have a bit of sense. I know it's not cheating but it just turns off other mapmakers ambition to continue making maps...
I hope they do this just to test if their games would get more hours played when featured like that.
Although, It is totally different if they have their own section of Category called Blizzard Maps. Very different scenario.

do you know what a logical fallacy is? its what your post is... this is a LIST OF MAPS not a in game match [which has RULES]... not the same thing, they made the game, hosting their maps is not cheating.. its them doing what they want with their game. so please, have a bit of sense
They aren't cheating, they are doing it to spite Rod and Meph for constantly trolling their forums. Banning Debate was just a taste of their power. Now by replacing the feature maps with blizzard maps, they are giving their biggest trobulemakers apolexy. In Charlie's Sheens words, 'blizzard is winning'!
Besides, they didn't put Burning Tides up there. So Blizzard is totally showing constraint.

Basically you are suggesting that cos you have the power, you should screw others who are less powerful... Just because I can I'll screw u?

Maknyuzz, I don't understand. You didn't feel mapmakers were already handicapped? So blizzard put their maps up in front. Not a big deal, it doesn't change a thing. Maps that can't get their lobbies filled can't suddenly get worse than still not getting their lobbies filled.
I say good for Blizzard, they know their system stinks so they had to resort to this underhanded trick to get people to play their maps. Not as though regular map-makers didn't resort to underhanded tricks like botting to boost their popularity..
umm blizzard added the spotlight...so......why cant they use it for maps they made (and spent money making)? i just dont see where the QQ comes from
The QQ comes for a mapmaker who wants his map to get some attention.
People can keep on bs-ing themselves that they are modding just for fun and don't care about popularity. But for me if my map gets more attention I am happier.
Call me attention-whore or QQ-er but at least I have purpose/ambition in what I do. Unlike some people who keeps on stressing they have nothing to do in their lives so they use it for mapmaking.

Or in rapper 50 cents' line: "I'll screw your life... Just for fun" lololz

It's like Microsoft bundling their Internet Explorer with Windows. Just because they can? Cos Windows and IE are their products and Microsoft can do whatever they want?
It's becoming anti-trust issue. Although Blizz case is not that serious.
So explain to me why Microsoft got anti-trust issue? Tell those people who complaint against IE and Windows being bundled QQ-ers. go ahead.

And I was so happy that Blizzard was swallowing their own popularity system... they had to find other way to cheat.
If they can't beat their own system without doing that, how are we suppose to??
Wow... oh wells... When Blizz released like 10 custom maps, then the 1st page will be filled with Blizzard's own maps huh?
Do Lost Temple, Xel Naga Cavern, and other Melee Maps also get that label? Sorry I couldn't check since Im in office

Most probably explanation, yes. I was just saying that they can do this if they want to because they can .

they are not winning anything doing this, how is this cheating?

Plus they already put Blizz Icon next to the maps name... Whats the point of putting in popularity? They also already have Blizzard Maps category...
No offense but some of you guys sound like whiney bitches.....
This just turns me off really... Cheating or not is subjective. But all I can say is mapmakers are handicapped.
