There's a substantial difference between difficulty and annoyance. This is squarely on the annoyance end because it's a lottery. Got bad luck one night? Too bad, you're wasting your time.

We did maps last night on Cactaur (took a while to get a group, it's not terribly popular) and had good luck getting portals. We never got past the third door and never got a thiefs map, so loot wise it wasn't really worth it. That's why maps aren't worth hardly anything.

The RNG slot machine is nice when it goes your way, but when it doesn't it's pretty discouraging.
