    Because inconvenient.

    Let say, scenario, alexandrite couldnt be stacked.
    why not just meld the alexandrite as you get them? Solves the problem. You're gonna have to meld them one by one anyways so it doesn't hurt to have to stop back to market board to grab more materia after you melded your alexandrite.

    Because not everyone is willing to lose the alex due to getting a map that can't be solo'd. As a SCH/WHM I can't kill the Fox Fires that spawn along with the Mythril Golem in enough time before they rush and explode. Even with a Chocobo and fairy out.

    I have to wait for a friend or two to be free to come along and help. They're not always available, hence a need to hold more than one at a time.

    Allowing them to stack, seeing as how the Alex themselves stack, is a no brainer. Removing the Unique flag from them would be a great first step, though, if there's an issue between the deciphering and the presence of a stack.
    There can't be an issue between stacking and deciphering as you can happily carry a stack of unhidden maps, decipher them, and still play. Once a map is deciphered it becomes a key item and the original map bottle is destroyed. That's why you can have a deciphered and bottled unique map at the same time.

    As WHM, two Holy casts will take care of the fires if you have at least soldiery gear. I've got 30 Alexandrites from maps and my WHM have no problem soloing all of them with iLv 110 gear. Some take longer because I keep having to duck their AOE attacks but none of them posed any danger of failing. This is unsubstantiated opinion, but I think WHM is thte easiest job for soloing maps.

    Back on topic, I'd love having at least the Alex maps stack as well. It's not like the maps were supposed to be done by full parties or even light parties. So what if a player decides to stack 75 maps and do them in one day? It's not like we can just buy them for 200gil.
