I also heard that the average high quality map can take at least a hundred hours, maybe even several hundred, to make test and polish. Is $1/hour a high wage?

And some people aren't in high school and don't have the time nor the neural plasticity to learn. Some people just aren't cut out for it either.

You can buy mapstamps for the official maps in the TF2 store.

You quoted Mr Happy saying there are stamps, and then told him there are stamps?
