Atlas Completion Bug – Infinite Citadel Map Exploit

Hi GGG team,

I’d like to report a serious exploit currently being abused by some players in PoE 2.

Issue:
Players are intentionally preventing Atlas maps—especially Citadel and gold maps—from being marked as completed, even after killing all rare monsters and the boss. This allows them to re-run the same map repeatedly, farming infinite gold and map fragments.

Impact:
• Severely breaks the in-game economy.
• Creates unfair advantage over honest players.
• Makes it harder for new players to compete.

Please investigate and fix this issue as soon as possible. We really appreciate your continued effort to make the game fair and balanced for everyone.

Thanks in advance!

Is it a bug or a cheat? I saw someone using it and was able to make the mod on waystone have color.

well bug ... but how we call fact that for weeks atlas is mess and endgame is just shit.... honestly this "exploit" of restoring citadels - hell its still in some way less profitable (because of anyway time you need to spend to properly handle it) then vs just doing proper Fully working atlas (where you can put tables, plan something etc)...

so if its bug that GGG ignored because at the beginning was for old standard only (so lets skip it as new league didnt yet cried) then even little benefiting from it in current circumstances - Hell JUSTIFIED actions in order to benefit ANYTHING from being blocked from doing normal ways :(
