Kingsmarch Mapper Micro Managing

GGG/Community,

Thoughts on making so the mappers die less often/get kidnapped less?? I can't even leave the game for a few hours without 3 of my mappers dying within the first few maps, or them getting taken hostage.

I get that the system can't be like a perfect automation where we can just set it and forget it (which would be super cool just saying) ... But I feel like the frequency at which we have to micromanage these dudes is insane.

Would be a FANTASTIC QOL improvement in my mind.

I'd love to hear contradicting arguments though.

Kidnapped in maps?

Max tier is 5.
You will see it happen when you make them run enough maps.
Right, Tier 5.
I blame my glasses :)

I've recently started mapping, and i'm using tier 16 corrupted maps using exclusively T5 mappers. Every single time I leave them to complete 36 maps, one's kidnapped 1/3 - 1/2 way through and then all mapping stops until I pay 50k. Every single time kidnapped, or one dies.

Perhaps this is as intended so as to make the afk farming less automated and profitable. GGG has always been against being able to farm while afk and so I believe this is as intended.

I'm struggling to come up with new goals to keep me playing this game.

I have the same experience: In 36 maps for sure one mapper is kidnapped. And that boss has 2 phases, and his loot sucks - it's "cheaper" to pay 50k gold.

The part I hate the most about mappers, is the looting part - I need to be really careful not to miss that potentially highlighted mirror drop, and while I'm scanning the loot, of course, I pickup all the bubble gum currency in range. Why can't we have a "take all filtered currency" button?
