I'm all for personal styles and variation but if you look at proficient modmakers such as Obazu, TR and begotten you'll notice their mods are a lot more advanced and receive a lot more attention than those you make(there might be a reason for that, no?).

CnC will always be subjective because everyone prefers different things but the fact that the so called style revolving around harder work and more attention to detail is more appreciated by the community speaks for itself.

I'm detecting an attitude I too possessed a few years back, it's called "people are relatively happy so why the fuck should I even try to improve?".
The fact that the community will gladly feast on any dung you throw at them doesn't justify being lazy. I'm sure we all want the game to grow in a positive way and that attitude severely stunts development.
Would you rather have a brand new player look upon the latest released mod and think "its just a bunch of fucking boxes placed around with no apparent meaning or function, what a kids game!" than have them think "damn even though the graphics are fucking silly someone actually spent time and effort into making the best out of what's possible"?


So, I'm telling you from a more experienced replay and modmaker's point of view; I wouldn't want to spend a bunch of time in this mod making a really cool replay because
A: It doesn't look very good and is uninspiring
and
B: The layout is poor and the mod probably wouldn't be too much fun playing


So ask yourself this

Do you want to help out the game and become one of the positive forces whom the newer people look up to and try to best.
Or would you rather keep being that one girl who shits out mediocre content because she knows the community will swallow it due to a lack of other good content creators?
