Map Tab

Small nitpick: Your current map arc tab will store shaped maps too.

Genuine question, no sarcasm. Why would you hoard previous gen maps? Is it a collector thing? Asking because the second a new map gen comes out, I simply empty my tabs and vendor all old gen maps.

Now, personally, i barely play standard. Your entire complaint doesn't exist in league where only one arc is ever relevant. I would imagine that when designing this tab the user in mind was league players, not standard players sitting with 4-5 gens of maps. Just to cater to the majority. So, yea I completely get what you're saying and yea from your pov, its a ripoff. But as you said, GGG will issue you a refund and you're back to the old way of doing things. It sucks that the solution they went with doesn't cater to your situation personally, but there were always going to be people unhappy with the implementation, no matter what it was.

I personally am happy with the 15$ I spent. Even though I am not doing the shaped map meta this time (yet. May switch later) I am hitting 20-30 copies of the higher level maps now and def appreciate the ease of having them in 1 tab. I am very unhappy with the lack of a search function and the complete lack of integration with the atlas but am hopeful they'll fix that at some point without it costing me anything more.

You're probably referring to the fact that you can have 72 maps of one TYPE, in a slot. If you just like to spam one map type then I guess that is important to you. However, that is NOT important to me, since I rarely have more than 3 of any map type. If I like to run them I might have 6-7. I don't need to spend 15 dollars for that.

Here is MY basic math, for your consideration:

$15 for maps stash tab #1, for my first-gen maps.
$15 for maps stash tab #2, for the next map arc
$15 for maps stash tab #3, for the third map arc
$15 for maps stash tab #4, for the current map arc
$15 for maps stash tab #5, for shaped maps
GOD ONLY KNOWS how much more for the fragments stash tab.

That's potentially $90-$100 or more, just to store your maps, and that will NOT include the next arc of maps. Not to mention, once you use those old maps, you can't replace them without trading for them, and even then the supply is limited. Eventually you will run out, and be left with COMPLETELY USELESS stash tabs that you paid $15 apiece for.

= ripoff.

There is little reason to have a map stash tab for old generations of maps. I mean, I do have two map tabs but one is rarely ever going to acquire new additional maps. Trading or vendoring 3:1 is the only way. So the older generation maps can sit fine in either old regular stash tabs or in old map stash tabs.
