It basically saves time and a small (even minute) amount of effort.. aka people spend more time in game, playing, rather than treating it as a chore or a project they must do research on before undertaking. To say removing that this made the game effectively more challenging is just silly.

Right, so if we summarize your arguments thus far we have:

1. Maps do not make things easier.
2. Your definition of easier is no different from the ordinary definition.
3. Maps just make things take less time and effort.

Let's take a look at the 1st entry from dictionary. Com for the word easy:

"Not hard or difficult; requiring no great labor or effort."

Now "easier" is a comparative form of "easier." This means something that is easier requires less effort. One of your conclusions is therefore false.

Let's take a look at another of your arguments:

People who embrace a classic approach to development also oppose night blindness.

This appears to be a strawman/ad hominem because it mischaracterizes the position of those it is supposedly intended to represent with the sole purpose of support an argument against them. Thus far no such persons have come forward to support this assertion . In fact all respondents thus far have acted contrary to your assertion. Your assertion therefore is either false or the respondents are not representative of the group to which they claim to belong. Which do you suppose is the case?

Whether maps make hints easier or more fun, etc. is irrelevant in light of the goal of his project. You are entitled to your own opinions, but please do not mischaracterize those of others in an attempt to invalidate their argument. That is dishonest and disruptive if intentional. We all make mistakes though, so no big deal if you were sincere in your belief. It is also possible that you are still right, there just does not appear to be any evidence to that effect at the moment. Should you find any, please do not hesitate to share ^^
