I just realized on a lot of maps, the mod that decides all the tier 2's often makes one area have a lot more than others. This causes OP chest routes to be created, and only known by a select few people, making it even better most of the time. Sure, sometimes it's advertised, but there are still many strong routes where tier 2's have no reason to be there.
For example, on Rugged Lands there is a cave with 3 very obvious chests in it, but 2 of them are tier 2 and I think there is another one right outside. On that same map, there is also a double chest that you have to climb a mountain (which is quite hard in this case), use your fishing rod to get up a 2 block high jump, and then at the top pull a lever to open up a chest which is still somewhat hard to see. This chest is not worth the long climb, simply because it's tier 1.
I'm not trying to call out any specific person, but I feel like a lot of maps have awful tier 2 placement done to suit who ever is doing it and in other areas of the map it's just hastily done so that tier 2's are there. Once the tier 2's have been determined, can they be double checked so that it's balanced all around the map? I feel like that would improve the system a lot.
Also, sorry if this has offended anyone. I'm not trying to do that, but I made this thread quickly before going to sleep. If anyone is insulted, I can edit it in the morning. I apologize in advance.
