Map sustain seems to be getting worse and worse?

Because map drop rates are beyond ridiculous. I know that in every ARPG you have to grind for gear, but PoE is the only one where you have to grind all the time to get access to endgame!

HAHA people don't even consider mapping (incl. red maps) endgame anymore. It's the continuation of the leveling process, players just wanna get over with - it's the grind necessary to get into real endgame, which is shaper and the uber stuff. HAHAHA Love it.

Shaper is actually easier that lvl15-16 vaaled maps. And all that "stuff" requires massive grinding for 1 try too. You cant chain it.

It sure is if you get some nasty mods on 'em. That's not my point though.

What I mean is, earlier in the days, there were no red maps, highest map level was like.. 74? 75? Something like that, and those highest tier maps were just as rare as guardian maps today. Noone was even thinking of sustaining those highest level maps other than by throwing all your currency on them.

At some point, red maps came into play and everyone was like "yeah, old map levels are sustainable, but you shouldn't be able to sustain red maps". "GGG doesn't want you to sustain red maps." "Yellow maps are fine."

At some point in the last couple of years / months, sustaining red maps became a goal for many. As long as they didn't have to go back to yellow maps, they were fine. Now it was, "you shouldn't be able to sustain T15 / T16".

In incursion you can sustain T15/T16 without big problems, so what is the "unsustainable stuff" now? Uber Elder for obvious reasons, because you can't chain-spawn him. Uber Atziri without buying sets.

People are blowing through early maps just as fast and steadily as if it was still part of the leveling process that you have to go through, to reach endgame. But now that all mapping is sustainable, only "endgame" is the stuff that is non-chainable, aka the uber bosses.
