Maps being nerfed?

Yeah the new maps are horrible. My FC has probably done upwards of 80 of them and gotten to the last floor twice

is that why prices for the glam mats have been so low? because bots do maps now? I remember when shell leather was new, each leather was a million + for months. Now the new mats release and are 400k within weeks

They haven't breached EW zones yet, but I've seen multiple parties of them on every server farming HW/SB/ShB maps.

There's multiple reasons. The new glam isn't particularly appealing. Maps are generally quite easy but the new ones take this to an extreme and can be easily done in 2-3 person groups, I think WAR's even soloed it. Finally, the market board is in shambles, crafting is worthless and most sources of raw gil income have been nerfed, pushing most players into maps to try to scrape some gil, thus flooding the supply of Map loot. There's at least 100 listings on my world even though plenty sell each day.

Its not that they are nerfed, its that the past ones were buffed after a while. Eventually SE will buff the rates. You know, to keep the content alive longer, bad rates to start and good ones to get people to do it again once it does off.
