Am here on behalf of myself Raevani and about (raevani-rocket), I honestly never copied Nyove's map with the intention of gaining fame or even because I had a lack of ideas. Around the time I copied Nyove's rocket map, his map was on the verge of being unplayable (Air spawns, spawning outside of play area, laggy and just not fun to play).
I now being a big fan of Nyove tried asking him to update map because I loved it so much and I didn't want to see the map die, after no response from him I copied his map (it was open sourced*) and I proceeded to make upgrades* to the best of my ability to make it playable again. I then used the map just to play with my friends where we could enjoy the map as I think it should of been. however not long after I was receiving thanks from the whole community for what I did and that's the story of how that map came about to be.
I know you weren't attacking me directly but just wanted to speak on it.
As for the lack of creativity within the pb2 map making community I think we have just come to a point where there is just not much you can really do in ale. new changes and additions recently have spiked creativity again which I think is good. How ever there is a few limitations, map size and how much stuff you can add to a map before it is too laggy is one of those secondly we in the map making community the generally makes maps that revolves around our fictional PB world (Base maps and fighting maps) asides from that we have skill maps (saws, parkours self boost maps etc.)
