Why Battle.net has no achivements for map makers? :)

I have some ideas below:

You make a map and someone plays it:

"Achievement awarded: I have a map!"

Your map gets full popularity bar:

"Achievement awarded: Booster."

You get a map featured:

"Achievement awarded: Blizzard's fan."

You get a map on the first page:

"Achievement awarded: The popular."

Blizzard deletes your map:

"Achievement awarded: The Rebellious."

You get a map more popular than Nexus Wars:

"Achievement awarded: I am Chuck Norris."

Seriously, why dont they?

Here are a few of my ideas, didnt know what to call the achievements, and the first one's more of a joke...

Have a map have less than 3 games per hour for over a week:
"Achievement awarded: I hate the effing popularity system."

Make a map with the maximum filesize and/or with one/multiple mods attached to it also at maximum filesize
"Achievement awarded: Get a life." lol, jk. Dunno what to call it, but it deserves a portrait. If the filesize is over 70ish% imports only it shouldn't count (you could just import stuff and do nothing and get the achievement...) or if the imports arent used in the map.

Fill all your upload slots and over 50% of the space.
"Achievement awarded: Hardcore mapper"

That would be cool indeed.

Currently I dont care about achievements, but those achievements would be kinda hard to get which makes it cool (and I dont play ladder that much).

I approve this idea.

We dont want an incentive for millions of people to create crappy maps, Just to get an archivement. Its bad enough as it is.

Pls don't make achievments for this blizz ! I would like Achievments. But everybody else would too. You would have tons of crappy maps that they made only to get achievments.

Look at the requirements for the achievements Rodrigo posted... Apart from the first one, all of them are impossible to get with a crappy map (unless you have about 5000 people willing to play the map just so you get the achievements).

And if you are worried about noobs making crap maps just for achievs, have the achivements give no points - im pretty sure people would play an easy coop vs AI for some achievements rather than make map in the editor, which has already proved is not newb-friendly, for achievements which give no points anyway and probably arent easy to get...

What I would think would be fun, would be like in a year, Blizzard makes achievements for the most popular custom games those custom games that are timeless, classic. If you understand what I mean.

You dont get it. You think a noob map editor can tell the difference between a masterpiece or a crappy map?. Nope, they cant. In their eyes, whatever they create is "Cool". They`ll say "Ey guys, Look at my awesome map!!", and everyone else will be like "er no, it sucks. Thanks for filling pages on the popularity list and drowning everything else-_-"

Personally I would go for feat of strength, they gives no point, they're hidden. So noone is going to know about it until they meet one and says: "Hey look, he is an awesome mapmaker, he made that Whatever Wars map"

I thought about this myself. I was also thinking about map makers creating their own custom achievements that can be displayed in game like some kind of top score on their maps or display certain awards if that player is presently playing the map.

Want it now. Thanks :)

I'd stop developing my map if that last achievement that rodrigo says is implemented.

I don't want that achievement :P

I got nothing against Chuck Norris himself, just against all those lame jokes and stuff.

1 of a kind (The way things are going, nobody will ever get this except Rodrigo)

Make a map that is not tower defense, nexus wars, or base defense

I'm on it ;)
