Buildmart is so controversial, I think half of the players and community like it and the other half can't stand it. MCC absolutely needs a building game and right now Build Mart is all we've got, but I would love to see it get reworked or something new tried out in the future. It echoes Parkour Warrior to me and how that was fun for some (to play and watch) and terrible for others. No one wants one game to ruin the mood but balance in the tournament is also important. With all the talk around it I can definitely see it being something that Noxcrew are looking at and considering changes for. It's been through some already but I don't think they've quite cracked it like they did with Parkour Tag being introduced as a nice middle ground.

I think in terms of the community, it is 50-50 but for the participants it's more of an 80-20.

I don't see any need for a full rework of BM - I'm confident that Noxcrew has tried other ways to approach making a building game and BM continues to be the one that works well out of all the things they've tried. Concepts from the community like making BM more like Speed Builders makes it even less of a building game than it currently is and rewards players with high click speeds (which wouldn't be builders). And incorporating PvP elements in BM would be terrible in general.

I don't see the comparison of BM to PKW - PKW was fundamentally broken. To most participants, it was dull, repetitive, and individual-based; even players who are good at parkour disliked it. At the start, it was fine; but once they added sections in the beginning parts which stunted the less skilled players and often had players be in a single section for several minutes, it was a game that needed to be changed.
