The new map update had lot's of controversial changes.
They removed two popular maps, Wyverns Wake and Fortune Island instead of removing some of the least played maps, such as Destiny/s Shiver and Fallen Collisi.
In the recent update, I was expecting at least 1 Discovery Works map to be added, if not 2 and maps such as Waterfall resort/Underground Kingdoms, which all have high votes in their polls.
Instead, In the last 2 map updates, 3 maps by members of the map committee have been added, 3 from PMC, one map that had been removed because of lag, which it still has btw, and one map from a major build team outside MCG.
Lots of these maps I enjoy, but it seems like lot's of maps in the finished section are being ignored.
Maps added should be what the community want, if you look at polls, then it shows that the map committee aren't agreeing with the rest of the community.
Maps added:
I'm not saying the map committee is biased in any way towards their own maps, but it seems like they're not listening to the community. However, somehow, Team Apollo got on the Map Committee before any of their maps were added. How does that work?
I could also add that, even though apparently Fortune Island and Wyverns Wake apparently had viable reasons to be removed, you didn't see anyone complaining about the OP items, and the underplayed map. If no one's complaining, why change something?
Please note: I am not hating towards any map on the list. I like lots of the maps I just want the map committee to look more towards maps that the community wants.]
Edit #1: I agree that maps can't be added 100% on voting percentage but it's clear that they're not adding any map with a high "Yes" Percentage. The only two maps that have been added which have a poll, the "Yes" results are shockingly low. Is it a "coincidence" that these two maps were both by Red Forest?

As TheOfficialWils said:
The Map Committee was meant to improve the system by which maps are added to the servers but they have in fact made it worse; the previous system was far better than this as it didn't allow for so much bias.
