T...As for complaint 4 ... Sorry for vagueposting, and maybe I'm already saying too much, but there is more to it than just "bad RNG". What I will say is that it seems to be entirely intentional so there is no exploit here or anything (I would have reported that). That's all I'll say, otherwise you will start buying up all the treasure maps away from me and the knowledge I gained stops being useful. xD

If you've found out something useful regarding Maps, I wish you would share. As stated above, a bunch of us have been making efforts towards improving this issue for all – testing, sharing our results and insights. We learn through one another. It's stupid that players have to do this boring, demoralizing wild goose chase for every new update, and sometimes can't even get leads for years. As has already been detailed in the above links by myself and others, maps are not even worth thinking about as a sellable: they are not regularly farmable; the drop rates are so low that a player can go do any other gold-making activities to earn tens of millions of gold in the same few months they'd have gotten ~3 Solstice maps / ~150k on PC NA.
