Horizon Orb only rerolls into naturally tiered maps

Description:
I will define a "naturally" tiered map as a map at the tier of which it first exists in a region on the atlas, for example: Beach is on the atlas (with no watchstone modification) at tier 1. Therefore, Beach is a natural tier 1. Burial Chambers first shows up on the atlas (with 1 watchstone modification in Valdo's Rest) at tier 7. Therefore, Burial Chambers is a natural tier 7.

When using Horizon Orbs on maps of a given tier, it will only reroll within the naturally occurring maps of its tier. In the case of tier 7s, no matter how many tier 7s exist on YOUR atlas, you will always either roll a Burial Chambers or Precinct map because they are the only naturally occurring tier 7 maps.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Play the game and get some watchstones, maps of different tiers, and Horizon Orbs
2. Level up a region on your atlas to boost the map tier of some specific map (your choice as long as the chosen tier has maps that do not naturally occur in it)
3. Use Horizon Orbs on a map of a chosen tier to try and reroll into a non-naturally occurring map of the same tier
4. Eventually use up all of your Horizon Orbs because it is impossible

This interaction was once listed as a bug in official known bug list (originally wording: Orb of Horizon and Harbinger Orbs can only reroll maps into specific maps. ) but since version 3.10.0 the bug is removed from the list. Thus, it is not certain that the orb now only reroll to specific maps is an intended behaviour or not.

+1 to this

there was no reason to bump every single thread about the orb of horizon and then make a thread linking to them.

either make ONE thread or bump ONE thread.

it is very possible GGG wants horizon orbs to only roll maps at their natural tier.

bumping threads is against forum rules?

Spamming (by posting in all the threads about the same subject) can be, yes.
We will have to see what actions a GGG MOD will take.......

i would argue that your posts (which serve absolutely 0 purpose) are worse than me attempting to gain clarity on something that is potentially wrong with the game. stop posting if you have nothing to add to the thread
use Mechanical Questions Thread instead of bug report

Or stop acting like a petulant child and email support@grindinggear.com if you wish to gain some clarity.
