Now I'm struggling to get the maps I need to progress much less kill the elder and his guardians. Abyss definitely nerfed the map drops and it sucks.

Make maps common drops and Zana level 8 should sell up to tier 15 maps.
And if you still want to sextant block and run the same map over and over, that's your call. But the fact that I can't play through the mapping system without either buying 50%+ of my maps from players, or meta shape maps is a problem.
High red maps are supposed to be rare.

Yes, but WHY should they be rare.

Ideally, progression in a game should depend on your skill.
In SC in does not matter anymore due to million DPS builds which can erase Shaper, guardians whatever in a matter of seconds.
So, what GGG can do in this situation?
Of course they will wall your progression with RNG which can be improved only by grind, a lot of grind.

Nope, I don't exploit trading and can never get rich enough to afford such a thing. :P
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

Zana should sell higher maps, but not up to t15s, that is just illogical.
Sextant blocking is also an issue IMO, because it makes it so you MUST use a shaped strategy to effectively use sextants and anyone else should just sell them, run 2\3 times the maps to get the same XP and currency back.

Gear progression in end game should be rare, content progression should be accessible based on your game knowledge and ability to do said content.
Right now unless you sextant or trade massively, map progression is a pain in the balls.
