You advertised the new atlas as giving the players more control, when in fact it has taken away an incredibly important element of control that we had previously; The ability to BLOCK individual unwanted maps from dropping, including those adjacent to the map we're running. There are only a tiny amount of maps in the new atlas that can be set up to be alone on their tier, and even with that setup, we have no way to prevent their adjacent maps from dropping if they're not at the top of their region's tier range.

This new atlas has completely killed any diversity and player choice with regard to which maps players may choose to run. You need to address this, or you're alienating every player that loves to run a small selection of their favorite maps through clever atlas manipulation.

In short we need tools that allow us to do this: Block an individual unwanted map from ever dropping, even if that map is adjacent to the map we're currently running. This tool needs to be unlimited, so that players can completely customize the atlas to their liking.

The tradeoff can be something like Awakening bonus being suspended(not permanently removed) for the maps that are affected by this tool. We'd also give up some Awakening level if we wanted to run lower tier maps.

They do not like people farming a single map over and over. It doesnt kill diversity, it forces it, You are forced to be diverse in your map runs. It's not clever manipulation, the system before was literally built for it, don't think it's some smart technique that requires skill.

you're just going to have to deal with running more than a two specific maps.
