I totally agree. While it could be irrelevant in big communities where the average standards of levels are lower, the stated quote is definitely is true for JJ2. My experience from WC3 mapping e.g. is that i spend a huge amount of time on improving details which, when ultimately playing online, noone really notices or even cares (nor would they if they were missing). But in the mapping community, they do notice and they do appreciate all that small work. And well, basically, the JJ2 community is a big levelmaking community because many people, or rather, a high percentage of the community, have a fair amount of experience with levelmaking. And they'll pay attention to such things. So heed n00b's warning!
