I still think map drops are fine - boost drops and good players can do 79++ all day long

This thread turned to shit real fast yesterday... Some of arguments posted here are completely ridiculous.

Best of the worst was some analysis based on PoE.trade maps available for sale in Standard, on which someone draw a conclusion that map drops are fine GG! I have independently came to conclusion that I will be selling any 79+ maps I ever get to those who are willing/able to pay the price. I will need that currency to roll/sustain my lvl75 - 76 maps :(

I am thinking the same now. I am 88 and I run out of 76 maps. Looked at Poe.Trade and omg when i saw the prices of 76 map I felt grabbed in my balls.

I set a goal of 95 this league and for me as a solo player that is just not possible. Could say play for the items but serious what items? beside the usual crap that drops.

My incentive is to level and I feel serious cock blocked in that atm and I really really do not see why we should catered in the way we play this game.

I have said it before somewhere else that if this does not change I stop supporting the way I do as i also feel completely ignored on the subject.

The amount of currency needed to sustain 76 is just beyond silly and only can be done IN FORCED PARTY play.

Please GGG have change of heart and hear all your loyal fans how you take away the fun 80+

Map difficulty has gone up, we are told that we need to play harder content to level now, however, you can play the hardest possible and you're most likely to get a Ghetto map in your 76+.
That's the core of all these complaints recently. People are playing super hard content and are still not getting any decent map drops.

I'd even accept the huge increase in expenses per map played, if doing 150%+ maps would be actually noticeable. But no, RNG is still the prime deciding factor for map drops. You can play a 200% map and if the "base drop value" (aka "seed") generated on instance creation is low, you wont get shit out of it.

Even a small tweak - scaling the chance that the boss drops a map, with the total map quantity - would be noticeable (and make much more sense, than just having a flat 1/5 chance).

Soloing maps is selfish and stubborn, as well as extremely expensive.

Taking a few days break, then i will return to mapping. We will see if my apparent "chain of luck" continues for yet anoter couple hundred maps, or whether i was simply right and i will be running 78-77-76 nearly all the time without issues and while earning extra currency on the side.
