The game is built more towards Group play (not solo) for drops (maps included) ... I don't like Group runs because it is open season for items that drop, even if it was your killing blow.
Maps suck balls for solo.
This is what I do.
I fully explore catacombs from level 1 to level 30... but, if I create a catacomb at level 30ish, and it is a good one and has open rooms, I will try to complete it, if I complete it, I am in my level 50s, and hope for a good drop, but again... Tier I ... typical.
Map drops can actually be two(2) tiers higher than your level, just like normal drops from monsters... I have completed Catacomb at level 1 or 2, and the map that dropped is tanned (Tier III)... this can also happen when completing a Catacomb at level 26 (for example) and the map could be level 35 (Tier X).
Yes, it should be fixed for solo play, but not for group runs. Actually, both cores should be separate with different drop rates. Or make major adjustments for Solo playing.
