As someone who exclusively buys map pieces from other users this feels like it could make it less likely to gain the pieces I’d need to complete maps required for goals. I’m a long time player and I do understand the site needs to make money. I’m concerned that people will choose to purchase the full map over the 3 pieces and thus inflating individual pieces to astronomical MP prices, but also limiting how many might go into circulation for users like me to buy. Even when I have purchased AU I don’t think I have purchased 25 before.
While I totally understand the new system I am concerned how this might impact players like me. With the chests used in another’s example those were opened and not guaranteed all the items which is why there are more available in circulation, imo. I have about 3 different maps I need to reach certain goals levels and I’ve been slowly collecting the pieces when they were available in AU shop by putting up wanted ads.
