Are you sure? In a small scale, this can help server owners better understand what attracts players to a server. In turn, this can allow for better crafted maprot, which makes people (esp newbs, whenever they decide to try something else than bloody douze) stick around, or so I believe.
There's obviously many variables to UX when trying to make people stick around. What these popularity results tell me, however, is that someone needs to pick up Lucas' work on game/map media downloader. 'MISSING CONTENT' everywhere is a huge no no if we want more map variety on the MS. This, however, should not be feature creep, but rather a new feature in next (point?) release.

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you are trying to say. Influencing how?
