I apologize if you were offended by my post. The use of the term "Commercial" was simply to illustrate that this was a paying gig, not a recruitment for free help. I acknowledge the fact that the average salary for that capacity of level designer is indeed ~ 45k annually.
As a matter of fact, we're competitive in wages for all of our lead project positions in coding. The simple fact is that this is a small project and offers some of the "rest" of the mapping community a possible income stream for doing what they are already doing for free anyways.

Also, the salary of your average level designer is $43,486 (Gamasutra 2006 salary survey). http://gamecareerguide.com/features/266/are_you_in_demand_2006_game_.php?pag e=4 If some one was to spend 1500 hours (as many commercial level designers do) on a single map, 200 is not even worth them doing what I'm doing, and saying - piss off.
