    That's a pretty moot reason as I can buy all of them anyway (only one by one) and simply moogle mail them to my friend(s). There is really no logical reason from the storage point of view to have them classed as unique. It's hassle with no benefits to anyone. They're already limit by 18 hr timer and classed as Hidden and that should be sufficient to control / limit the circulation.

    I edited OP for clarification as some replies didn't seem to get the point of the OP. (Sorry English is not my native language...)

    Thanks!

    The devs actually did give a reason for this when maps first came out. But I can't remember 100% what they said but it had to do with limiting them so rmt couldn't abuse them and bot farm a ton of maps.

    But they are already time limited...? If that is the reason SE doesn't make much sense lol

    Also we already suffer the RMT /tells enough as it is, so now we also need to suffer for gameplay changes dedicated to reduce them? I rather get more /tells and just use 1 second to blacklist than have to spend a lot of time and money teleporting to map locations, then to retainer, then another location, then to retainer, then to mordhona, then to location, and on and on and on...

    Please SE! XD

    When you remove the ability to carry inventory of any good or service you also decrease the willingness of people to supply the item.

    Meaning, they are attempting to keep MB prices high for these maps because the buyer must pay a premium to the seller because of their limitation on storage of the map.

    If it is the reason SE, please disable Unique for Mysterious map seeing as you can't sell them and they are 0$ profit for RMT! Pleaseeeee

    Sorry - but your reassoning makes little no to sense - see my posts above in regards of moogle maling the maps (or any "unique" items for that matter).

    But... that is a huge inconvenience for you in your own words, and you have an intrinsic value of being able to trust your friends to not steal your maps (or you are just giving things away for free) which is a market advantage.

    All I'm saying is that they made them harder to store.

    Another potential reason could be that they want you to log in every day to do one instead of doing a ton of them at once so you don't get burned out. Kind of like how they grant you 7 Duty Roulette bonuses per week, but you can only use one per day.

    100 bots, takes 2 weeks to be banned? that's is around 1800 maps for 2 weeks.

    I have no idea how many bots/gold farmers there are nor how quickly they ban. It is just that we get information about it every two weeks in average.

    Reduced costs, and only one person pays for the teleportation. I understand your frustration, I am fine as it is

    IDK... Whenever I get questioned Convenience or RMT, I'll always pick convenience...

    1.0 was so badly hurt because it's core design was to reduce RMT. (speaking of the earliest version with the random EXP lmao)

    The UI was so slow because it was checking with the server through every step, I suppose for cheating prevention and so on...

    You know, even if that's acceptable and you're fine with Treasure Maps being Unique, why are you fine with it on Mysterious maps? Mysterious maps have nothing to do with bots and RMT, right?
