Buying Maps

Surely some method of a central bank/market can be programmed so that maps can be purchased for a preset price.
As in all leagues at the start buying maps is pure poison. Seriously spend more time on POE trade trying to buy maps then playing the content.
Make it off line trading as well.

Many years ago i played a game called "Heroes".
It had a separate server specifically for selling and buying.
You set up your stall with prices and didn't even need to be online for a sale to be made. This game would benefit enormously from something like that.
GGG could sell or even rent a "market place" spot.
Win/Win

If you are in short supply of maps and cannot tolerate trade, you can always clear Zana out whenever she has maps for sale.

...Wait. I haven't reached her yet since I am going super slow due to work schedule.

...She does still sell maps, right?

She does. The Tiers she's selling depends now on your Progress with her quest line (no need to do the dailys to level her up).

About trading.. another trading System (ingame player shops, auction house etc.) all have their goods and bads, compared to the current system.
If you're interested in what GGG thinks about this, the Trade Manifesto could be interesting:

I somewhat solved the map problem for me by making some ingame friends and asking around there for some map trades from time to time. This at least reduces the amount of maps I'll have to buy the "regular" way.

But now you need a certain map to 'do' Zana at all. So yeah there more map buying AIDS than ever.

zana daily sucks now. always having to whisper 10 people before someone responds so you can buy the map that has her mission on it.

It's called gating content. Now instead of using difficulty they use lazy exiles that can't be bothered to sell items they want to get rid of.

ggg making sure you don't get to leave league sooner than 2 months. and lots of exiles helping them.

What? You meaning this:



and this



is not fun and practical??

You entitled little brat.

Yes, Niko was in burial chambers...

I whispered 7 people to buy a burial chambers.
Nada

Then I spammed trade chat
Nada

Then I asked once in global
90minute mute
WTF

90min later...
Then I asked in global 820 if FKNG ANYONE wanted to run a burial chamber together.
Finally someone helped.

So yeah, map trading is the cancer of trading. Even worse than currency trade.
I would not leave my map or delve to sell a 3alteration map to a random buyer, the time is not worth the income.
But I dont SELL maps in the first place for this reason.
