Experienced and Creative Mapper wanted - Payment in real $$$

Very reasonable responses, sorry for the knee-jerk reaction. Just seen too many kids demand super cool idle maps, and too many "mappers" making "super cool" idle maps.

A proper casual lounge is not a bad idea. If you actually try, and also incorporate some minigames, I'm sure it's pretty easy to make an outstanding idle map. Good luck!

To that point, reality is reality and I think the evolution of TF2 has been brought to a point where the F2P crowd has irreversibly changed the feel of the game forever. In the process of that evolution, there are thousands of players that will never be playing the game "seriously".

Heck, that's been going on ever since people started achievement farming, which was probably the original Gold Rush Update. There are a lot of things wrong with the game now that weren't a few years ago, but people wasting time on achievement/idle servers instead of playing the game proper isn't one of them.
