Can we please get rid of the 1-map-per-inventory restriction?

To this day, I don't know why this restriction even exists in the first place, so if someone has an answer, I'd appreciate it. Is it something related to the game's code? All this does is complicate things and force players to jump through hoops to avoid this unnecessary restriction. I mean, your retainer can't even have a map in their inventory and sell one at the same time, which is such an inconvenience. When doing maps, people usually wanna farm them, so they need more than 1 (or 3, if you count the saddle and an already deciphered map) on their character.

I'm fine with it being 3 honestly. I wish you the best in trying to change it though.

It's probably so you would share maps (whether selling or giving for free to other players) instead of just keeping them for yourself.

If each of your party member has a map in the saddlebag and a map in the inventory, that's 16 maps for the entire group, not counting additional maps from retainers and in mail.

To stop people hoarding maps, if you want multiples, you'll have to buy them and stimulate the economy.

If you could hoard maps, people would spend the few weeks before a patch gathering maps, then running all of those maps on patch day for the new mats to sell for millions, without ever spending a single gil.

This way, you get about 5 default (up to 13 total with paid retainers) for 'free' and the rest you have to buy off other people.

Map hoarding is already a problem with map-farming bots setting up shop on practically every server now.

It would be way worse if the restriction wasn't in place as they could literally clean out the entire MB of its maps in one go.

What? Why? Maps are the only thing in the market that is healthy, there's always demand, prices are good.
And you can have 2 on you (one open and another closed).

It wouldn't be a problem at all. You can already hoard them in your mailbox anyway, but the community tends to overreact to basically any QoL suggestions, usually with either "bots" or "the code". Holding multiple maps in your bag wouldn't really change that much.

You can also carry one in your saddlebag, so you can hold 3 maps.

I don't mind it because maps are actually worth something. If we could have unlimited there would just be bots constantly running them for gil and items.
If I'm doing a map night I just open one, put one in my saddlebag, and one in my inventory, then I mail everyone maps in their mailbox and some in my retainers lol.

I mean no, people aren't overreacting here. Maps are big moneymakers.

Maps are big moneymakers.

They can be, since the patch it seems to have crashed pretty hard, usual 90K maps now under 10K.
