Treasure maps are not fun at all, he talks shit. You find close to no one who does it.
Preach acts like a super shill, when it comes to FF14. He does something for the very first time in FF14 and calls it the best thing ever made - not grinding it AT ALL. He wents into Bozja the very firt time: Ohmy, this is so awesome, this is good content. NO ONE praised Bozja. At best people did not hate it. No one praised it. And he just walks, kills a few mobs, barely a single fate boss: "this is genious!!!". It's like playing WoW and cheering about a world quest in which you just kill five mobs.
Oh, sure, grindy RNG content that gives you close to no rewards and mainly fucks you with bad luck every time can be so fun - if you don't do it.
Treasure maps aer in the game since the start and they got close to no use, since they mainly drop shit and the few things which are not shit are hid behind super annoying RNG, so it's just better to wait a few months, until no one cares anymore and the prices of the drops fall into oblivion.
Even in the early days it was hard to find a group, that stays together for a couple of them (and you don't make a group for just one of them, it's a waste of time to just create the group for that little nothing), because it becomes so super annoying and repetetive so fast, while it's ONLY super bad RNG over RNG over more RNG that gives you the very little chance to not just get worthless trash.
Regarding the combat, beside the timer you got to best the pure treasure map fight, two people were mainly enough inside, partly you could do it alone as healer or class with self heal) - it just takes very long.
Also nice, when in SB you may one day be lucky enough to reach the last room (every door to the next room is a dice roll, if you get thrown out, nothing you can do about that), just to suddenly have a boss that does one of the most surprising high end raid mechanics thrown at you, after everything to that point was just boring trash.
Simply casts "Twister" and you are dead, since suddenly coming up with an insta kill Coil 5 mechanic, after six levels of faceroll trash in absolute casual content is not a giant "fuck you, lol". Big joke on top of that: the other random boss mobs at the end got nothing like that.
