This is what happens when you screw up the relic quest by making the first part (atma) doable by spamming a single key and turn the second part into nothing but a time sink with zero attention requirements, let alone skill. When you go ahead and add something that can actually kill you, even as easy as it could be to overcome, you get people complaining about it.
No one is complaining about dying. What we're saying is that:

1) No where on the Mysterious Maps description OR the quest does it warn you that they're any different than the treasure hunting ones (regarding OHKO mechanics), or that you might need help as the Peisteskin do ("Level 50 full-party recommended").

2) If you die, you lose the map and the alexandrite for good. When I go to Coil, if I die or if the timer runs out, I can still keep trying. It doesn't tells me "Oh, bad luck, you died. Come back tomorrow!".

If these two things were solved, I'm sure that we would be having fun even if the maps were harder than they are now. I would, at least.

Note that I've not had this happen to me, but I can feel the pain of those that lost their maps because of this.
