Zana should sell ALL the regular maps

I understand that there is not any fast way to trade in this game, after all GGG always stated that there won't be an action house, and I'm rather for it.

However mapping is THE central end game activity in this game, and with the recent changes of the masters it is now more than ever important to be able to obtain the needed maps.

It is utmost annoying to spend more time trying to actually buy those maps to the sellers (as 95% of them won't reply) than actually playing the game.

They could be unlocked as you level Zana or any other practical way.

Or she could just sel any map you’ve gotten completion bonus on, with one map of the type available per inventory reset. That way you could do masters and shaper/elder pushing much more easily.

Totally, that would be much more intelligent and pleasant to play !

In betrayal league there is a lot of map trading going on in trade chat.
I've been trading maps for maps there.

Definitely not a bad idea. Kinda similar to how you can buy level 1 gems from Siosa and such.

I like that idea.

there should be no maps period, except unique maps I guess.

We shouldn't have to pay players in order to play the game. The terribad map system has stopped me from enjoying this game for like 5+ years. I keep checking back hoping they've come to their senses, but nope lol.

There have been several suggestions for this.
But the one I like most is this:

No map item needed to run a unlocked map, defaults to white without mods.
Each new tier is unlocked when one complete the previous tier.
To complete a map you need a map item with the "correct" status (magic/rare/corrupt).

So yes it's "free" to run any map but only as white.
To get efficient xp/h you still need an map item to alch/chisel/....

But the whole can't do a master mission problem is just gone.
Same for elder/shaper manipulating..



Oh well...

As far as I remember the statements from past years, gigigi was in favor of map trading between players, map should be one of the commodities. Over the couple big versions there is bigger dependence on specific maps rather than "having at least some map to run" which was of the of the past problems.
Atlas, Shaper / Elder stuff , now masters.

At this point, i would very much like to hear GGG point of view about the state of map trading.

I disagree completely.

Now that you can unlock maps of the Atlas when you find Zana and select your map, getting atlas completion is extremely easy and then you can get the drops yourself when you run more and more maps.
