Why are treasure maps still not stackable?

Surveys cause harvest nodes to spawn when you're in range of the location, and they ARE stackable. Treasure maps cause a diggable mound to spawn when you're in range of the location, but they AREN'T stackable.

So why aren't they, given that they effectively utilize the same game functions as surveys?

    Oh god don't give me a reason to keep these since I generally just destroy them since they don't stack but it would be nice if they did.

    Not sure if it's going to change to Live, but on the PTS (at least currently) treasure map chests give various leads for the antiquities system.

    Why can't you still fillet whole stacks of fishes at once?

    Interesting. Thank you again for pointing this out.

    They aren't guaranteed leads, some treasure map chests will have no leads.

    I am not sure why Treasure Maps are unique other than to stop us from hoarding them, because as you said they have a system for surveys that should work the same with maps.

    So I have to stop deleting something that doesn't stack. Great.

    Not just treasure maps. What about style pages, or event rune boxes? Why can't they be sold to a merchant? Why must I spend 5 second destroying each one of the useless rune boxes?

    Could the stacking thing be a way to prevent people from standing in one spot digging up the same box multiple times in a row? Perhaps that's something the game can't manage without reloading the scene or something.
    Please stop making requests for game features. ZOS have enough bad ideas as it is!

    They already have a system to prvent this with surveys. Instead of standing one place and just picking flowers forever, you have to run/ride a decent bit away for the area to "refresh" with another survey's worth of nodes. Maps theoretically would work the same way, if they stacked.

    Maps do work the same way. If you have one in your inventory and the same one in your bank, you can go to the right spot, dig up the chest, and then use a banker assistant to retrieve the second one in the same place. The dirt mound won't appear until you leave the area and go far enough away to trigger the spawn.
