Typing "wtb level 66 maps" into trade chat seems way too difficult and time consuming for a lot of people, much more productive to spend that time moaning on forums instead...

farmed docks i have IIQ/IIR in my farm build not sure if that affects

do about 2-3 hour farm and get about 4-5 maps.
another day do about 2-3 get 2 maps
another i did 1-2 got 2 maps

running full dps gear without increase in drops=fast kills lower drop rates.

100% increase=double chance (maybe?) in docks/ect farm

so if thast the case my 2-3 hour farm would b 4-6 for you. its not hard, if your 70s you dont have to be super buff mobs die 3-4 hits neway so change your gear a little instead of worrying about pew pew damage (just my 2 cents)

This is my first rant about this game.
Looking at the new patch notes I was: "Yeah, new endgame material I will never see!" Why? Because the map droprate is depressing. In Pre-OB I used to run maps constantly with some farming once in a while. Most times in mid-lvl maps, high lvl maps were rare.
But now in OB I cant participate endgame content anymore. I have been running Lunar Temple & Catacombs constantly since I hit merciless difficulty: Just two maps dropped. And I farmed a lot, I wouldnt complain if I did just 20 runs without a drop.
Are we intended to run Docks to find maps? As my main character is a melee Ranger, Voidbearer force me to farm other places than docks, even with full resists, nearly 3k life and leech. A map drop increase there would (again... different topic) only advantage ranged characters.

My two Cents to droprate:
1. Increase the Map-droprate globally!!!
2. Map Bosses should have a single guaranteed map drop. Forces players to finish maps and give consecutive endgame.

So far my group has never run out of maps since we started obtaining and running them.

People farming docks: Try the Catacombs.

With your low level ones though try just running magic maps and rolling maze on indoor maps and larger area/larger pack size on outdoor maps.

Oh that's a really good idea, thanks

Well people can say "RNG is RNG" and the "its beta" bullcrap, but ive been farming from level 69 to level 73, in docks(i had 3 maps also did them all in the period) and got no new map, after farming almost another level to 74 and getting no map, i went to play diablo 3, so u can keep saying excuses, but the game is driving me away from it, i dont think this is what the devs want.

Diablo 3 problem was farming the same act, and it got boring fast, do u really think that by farming a way smaller area people r gona stay in the game for long?

And trade? cant one be self found?

Trading for getting simple stuff and mindless farming the same area with no loot was the reason left d3.

some people in this thread are saying that people should be able to buy lvl66 maps from the vendor for lets say 5 chaos...

I dont understand the logic behind that if you can buy them for as low as 1 alch/1 chaos from other players? Care to explain me the logic behind this?

Please see my post. There is another, higher level zone other than the docks to farm in Act 3. People seem to avoid it for some reason.

While going from 69 to 74 you probably farmed tons of currency items. You could've easily bought a lot of maps since a white 66 map goes for 1-1,5 alchs.
