Fine with strongholds being in yellow maps.. Red maps? no.. It is hard enough to get red maps to drop for just completion, but now we have to complete 4 strongholds on red maps just for randomly spawned strongholds? screw that.
Unless they change how maps drop, this only benefits the top 1% who can get all the red maps to drop. I never have completed every non unique map on the dam atlas so this is going to be impossible.

Top 1% of players only able to get red maps done? I seriously doubt this made-up statistic.
In my first league of playing PoE, I've closed all red maps with ease within like a month. I don't understand the issue - if you get the same red maps to drop, go to /trade 820, type WTT your map, your map, your map FOR X map Y map Z map. You can also use Horizon Orbs if you feel lucky.

If your concern is 'but man red maps just don't drop!', then this is simply false. I've done a shaped atlas strategy, and over-sustained maps to the point of selling T16s on a regular basis, and that was done with a lower atlas % bonus than you would have if you were trying to close all red maps, which is what will probably be the new thing - or at least initially to get the 4 strongholds down. Those will be easy too, since I doubt they'd spawn on maps you haven't yet completed and are harder for you to drop.

Yeah, Bestiary is a past league, isn't it? :)
