I think the main problem is that I was using the word 'realistic' when trying to meaning 'credible'. Even fantasy worlds (unrealistic) need to have specific rules and work with them, breaking your own rules or not setting them and expecting people to buy those flaws will give the unnatural sensation that I talked about.
I'm going to stund pretty rude here. But I don't really care. Sure you can use all these nice terms of Biomes and different nature not being able to grow here and there. But some sprites just look a certain way, for the piece to fit together. Doesn't always have to make sense. Sure I wouldn't say you should just place things all over the place that doesn't make sense at all.
But sometimes mappers use certain sprites because they just fit the color palette or the theme.
CipSoft doesn't make good enough sprites for more developed mappers. They make sprites for the shit tier mappers they have in their team. I've been mapping since forever, and I know a thing or two. And most of the times, shit doesn't have to make sense for it to be or look nice.
Nobody will walk around in that map/OT and say "HEY WTF, THOSE TREES CAN'T GROW THERE!".
Look, I understand what you are saying, but if you have ever mapped at a high level yourself, you would understand.
