jassers, terrianers, skiners, etc is not enough to make "the best map ever", I think.

A totally new, great ideea for a map that could be liked by every kind of warcraft player is what map-making needs.

No TD, no AoS, no whatever exists now. Something new, ORIGINAL.

I would venture that I don't think there is anyone on this site that can properly design something to be the "best map ever."

First of all, I am not sure if the Hive has all of the best people in all modding regards here. Secondly, even if it does, I highly doubt they could all work together on something like a map. (Everyone wants their own ideas done, and feature creep would destroy the map unless certain things were cut - and then people would leave the project) Lastly, as I said before, I've not encountered anyone on this site that would be capable of designing the map to be excellent.

It may not even be an issue of ego, though. Why should someone work on a map when the things they want to see in the map won't even be present? It would be much more effective for them to find a map team that supports their specific ideas. That's the main reason why you could never get some huge conglomerate of modders together working happily on a single map.

In a way anyone who uses THW to help create thier maps is working with many other people because if you look hard enough you can find almost anything you need to create the best maps in THW, you just need the time and will power.

We all know that every time somone tries this it will fail due to multiple noobs getting into the system, am I right? (That's not the only reason it would fail...)
 
It's been tried before (Prodigy Productions) and it failed horribly.

Beat me to it.

We had a private forum. No noobs were getting in. :p

I think it was mostly lack of motivation/direction or just plain laziness. Maybe the group was too big? Dunno.
