Anyone else annoyed by Aquapolis?

There is nothing wrong with it as far as I am concerned. The chance of it spawning a portal is quite high, anyone can gather the maps by leveling a gatherer or they can buy them from the market board. The things gained from the portal run are an 'additional' reward on top of what the maps already gave in the past. Unlike housing plots or rare/event items, maps are infinite and despite only being able to gather one a day on a character...you can gain one every day if wanted or more than one a day if have more than one character.

You still get the same things as normal from the map alone but now with added chance of more rewards which is not something to complain about regardless of whether reach final room of not. The value of the maps in the market board by proxy obviously have increased because there is a high chance of obtaining more from doing them which benefits gatherers too if do not want to use them. If do not want to buy them then level a gathering class, no-one is stopping you from doing so and it doesn't take long plus does not require a group to level one.

If that's all there is to it, then they really should have saved themselves the problem of making the Aquapolis and just randomly slapped those rewards onto the chest instead. Same chance to get them, but a lot less coding and ressources involved, which could instead be used for something that is more than 'just' an additional reward.

Not at all. It is a fun new feature included in the activity of doing maps to make it more exciting instead of just randomly giving you more things when open the map chest. I am sorry but the few people here complaining about this are not going to win this argument for the multitude of reasons I along with others have already given, they are barking up the wrong tree on this.
