Rewind a year and a half back to November 2013. Both kiting and camping are viable play styles. Servers are populated more often, and events are more consistently filled and running. The most frequent method of defeating Odin is camping, and the most frequently requested map (Swadian Town) for events is known for its convenience to camping.
If what you typed above was true, classes that could not kite would not have been prevalent enough to complete Ragnarok, and my evidence to the contrary would not have happened. Therefore, your logical jump to this claim is true if and only if you can only get far in the game with kiting.

Also true, there are not so many strong kiters to be able to go full rag runs.
One more reason to play both as a (lone or not) kiter and a member of a well balanced team and to take on different positions with different classes is that ppl seek for variety of experiences and tend to get bored with monothony. So once one gets tired with shielding why not to make an attempt as a lone kiter running into the setting sun or vice versa. The more diverse is the gameplay the longer the time it provides fun to players so they stick to it I believe.

I would like to see a vote on having all the good map, So the best versions of each map (cadeing and kiting) from the community point of view.
And leaving it how it is and just adding new maps instead of changing them all the time.

Hold your horses mate, you do realise this is NI where we ain't allowed to have multiple play styles and we must adhere to the devs choice of play style (insert comment about if you don't like what to devs are doing don't play their mod) and obviously I'm sure we all know by now that we aren't allowed to have good maps, especially with the latest batch of maps they all look nice and fancy but are less practical than swadian city before they added the fort area where everyone cades now.
And from an Australian POV the AU servers are empty almost all the time so the only time you can play with populated servers is usually between 12:00 am and 10:00 am and ofc that is usually always on eu servers with that nice 300+ ping. The point I'm reiterating from many other au players is that if we play outside of these times you pretty much have to play on your own (ofc on shitty maps for kiting) and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who gets bored of this and closes NI after 10 mins and then wonder why I continually waste the time to launch NI and check the servers to be continually disappointed.

In my mind i want every map to be good so people dont leave when the map changes to some slow or hard map when you cant do well unless you have 1 or more rgs.

Well thats when i go on a eu sever and fucking suck it up with 300 ping+ I will say if you can pay well its not that bad...... Sure there times were you want to kill your self eg peeking and you get shot when you are not even out there and so much more.
