Why on Earth did you buy a game about building if you don't like building?... How did you even find this game? lol

That's a pretty ridiculous assumption.. The only reason anyone would believe that 99% of the community is unhappy is because the minority that is totally unhappy whines about it enough to make up for the silence of the majority who is happy.
There were several votes about this very subject and in every single thread (and there were tons) with a vote, the majority was always in favor of removing maps. And that's saying something considering the people who were unhappy about it are the ones who like to make/cast their votes on the subject.

I do not like building very much. How would someone know if they will not like building? I enjoyed building at first, but later on it just turned into tedious work. This game is more than worth buying just for the combat and the add-ons alone. I still find this game to be the best purchase I have ever made, and I rarely build.

For now we won't have any maps besides the ones that MARBLE MAN made.
Maybe sometime in the future maps will be default again.

I realize there's more value than just building, but the game is clearly advertised as the game where you build stuff... If you aren't a fan of building things then idk how you'd even consider investing in a game with that slogan :P
Mr.Noßody:
Ill say this again:
Maps in Blockland only served as an excuse for players to not have to build. Why build a nice city when you could load a pre-made one that doesn't use bricks?
Before shaders, almost all servers relied on maps to accomplish any terrain or surrounding. Now without them, people are forced to actually build unique and interesting things to do what that want, and thats a good thing.
I was sick to death of all the minimalist dogfights and map challenges that anyone could churn out with no effort.
The only downside to this is the old users who still complain about shaders and refuse to get off their lazy asses and actually build something.
"Remember the time where we could be lazy?? Yeah! I want that back!"
