" They do still watch the statistics from information they collect and all of what Chris says in the beginning post is still valid, not much out of date information there even though it is a few months old. All maps do need to be treated exactly as he tells with the chisels and rolling harder mods. They have not nerfed map drop rates since they increased them after this post. “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

" I don't want to be rude, but that's a joke, right? The implications are that GGG is so scared of inflation that lategame is a net loss every map for solo players. What you pull out of most ~68-70 maps is not even remotely worth the 4 chisels + alch + 2-3 chaos. |

" Nope. And? |

" I totally agree, you're better off just making new characters and hoarding all the currency until they release more content outside maps. |

" Oh, based on your premise that that little detail doesn't matter, can you elaborate how the endgame should unfold in your great vision? Or rather, why anyone should participate? Last edited by Khazrad#5396 on Mar 2, 2013, 1:14:13 PM

I personally have never done a map without getting at least one back as a drop.
I think that the map drop rate is very very very slim. Make sure you are running with at least 30% quantity on your drop rate imo and you will pretty much always get a map back. I don't know what the exact number would be, but I think 30% is a pretty solid safe number for a magic (transmuted) map. |

He says we don't run hard enough maps? Where does that leave solo players? I thought this game was solo friendly, but apparently I was wrong.
