Can we just let Zana sell us all the maps already!

totally for OP suggestion.

The POE economy is a cancer and buying maps just to enjoy endgame is a sin that should not even exist.

People here telling about how bad it would be and it would ruin economy are obvious flippers worried about their profit.

Funny thing is that maps are just a tiny fraction of this whole economy and most likely would not even make a dent on it.

Unfortunately this method is a) not known by most players, b) part of a 3rd party website (not on GGGs trade site and a large part of the player base does not use 3rd party sites i think)

On the official Path of Exile trading website, click the "Bulk Item Exchange" tab.

Then click "maps" and you can select the ones you want to search for in bulk. Buy from sellers that have the number of maps you want in stock.

Okay, seems like you know something I don't. Selected two maps, set stock to 2, scrolled through first 30 entries without any account name popping up twice or obviously offering both maps, am I missing something here?

poeapp/poeninja allows you to actually search for 1 account/seller who has all the items you need for sale (just bought whole fragment sets this way).

Yea map scarcity is just a silly thing to have in a game. Especially with all the new content that wants me to be doing specific maps all the time.

do you ppl ever think about what you wright down?

Concerning consumables like maps, I don't care about economy. Players shouldn't have to trade just to progress up the atlas and fight mobs that are remotely dangerous. Fragments, scarabs, breachstones, splinters, etc, fine whatever, but maps should be more easily self-sustainable.

Either that, or GGG needs to implement new mechanics or features that make lower-tiered maps more difficult. We had that back in Betrayal, but now that they spawn painfully rarely and, according to Chris's Q&A answer about them possibly being rotated out as more leagues go core (BAD IDEA, just give us leaguestones and let us decide instead), these lower maps are weak and boring.

You don't need to trade maps to complete your atlas(well besides unique maps ofc.), trading just speeds thing up.

And ppl like you have no idea that the way it this now is bad for player retention. Your destroy economy is nonsense, it will keep the prices stable. Players will always undercut Zana prices and be able to keep selling their maps.
For player like me who doesn't care about cheaper prices and just want to quickly buy the map and continue chasing elder. We need this option.

Another idea is to let Zana trade any same tier map. Like let us choose not random map device thing.

Or Auction house for maps and currency only, but this is not likely accordingly to GGG stance on AH.

PPl quit bad leagues sustain has very little to do with it,also ppl quiting cause they suck and or are lazy is hardly a big loss.

Also i went a little more indepth on the economy part in a other responce, ofc it won't destroy the whole economy i never said that, unlimited easy acces to endame does however have big implications on the vallue of items and currency.

And ill repeat over and over again, if you dont know how to sustain the tier you are playing on you don't deserve to play at that tier.

This whole sentence of about not caring and wanting easy acces to elder sums up the problem perfectly, most of the complainers are just lazy and have a poor understanding of the game,not just the gameplay aspect of it but also to what kind of game poe actually is and to whom it caters to.

I used to come in and play everyday, I am a fairly casual player but I'd play 45 minutes to an hour just to do my dailies and then do other things like a map or two. I don't play that much anymore because I generally have to go buy the maps I need to play dailies. It literally takes me longer to buy the maps than it takes to play them.... I mean you have people who will only sell you 5 or people not responding, half the time because it interrupts their game play. I've not spent a lot of money in the game, but I haven't spent any since I'm not playing everyday. I don't care about your economy, I do not care about high level content, I just want to play my dailies and be left alone but I can't... I need maps and I never have the ones I need.

(edit)BTW this is a game not some big achievement. If you're good here it is absolutely meaningless. I play games to enjoy them, I have no interest in competing with other people. I see people getting bent out of shape because other people aren't spending 50 hours a week researching a freaking game. Really, get over yourself.

And how the hell do U know ppl are not quitting because of this. Map drop complaint are frequent. Many quit without comment.

By the way i personally do not have problems sustaining. No my exact point. I'm no noob either. I chase elder alot eventually U run out of a specific map and have to trade. Last thing U want to do is alt tab and msg 10 ppl it freaking cancer.
I overpay Zana 2-3c so I don't have to bloody msg afk ppl.
There needs to be an option.
