What's with the bandwagon hate on shaped maps and sextants?

i'm a big fan of shaped maps, no problem with them at all. maybe i'm a huge autist but i prefer running the same map over and over rather than unlocking the entire atlas. sextants on the other hand, i hate them. they feel like a chore to maintain just to have decent density in maps and they force me to do a shitload more trading that i otherwise wouldn't have to do so yea i would be pretty happy if they went away

I take it back. I love sextants.

The people saying "sextants = more choice" im not sure understand what "more choice" means. More choice would be having a larger variety of maps you could run without being completely gimped by doing so.

As someone who has only recently started playing, this system is by far and away PoE's biggest weakness and one of the main reasons I don't play more then I would.
