You just dont want to understand it.
Neither multiclienting, nor the chaos recipe, nor anything of what you said is the core of the problem, these are only symptoms, you are still trying to fix symptoms.
If you somehow were able to fix multiclienting, then we are back to farming 7 hours in order to be able to do a high level map, which takes 10 minutes to clear.
Since the actual problem still has not been fixed, a new symptom will arise, and this time the worst of all: botting.
They will just run bots to do the chaos farming for them, that way they will be able to do high level maps exclusively without having to do lower level content at all (which is how it should be in the first place).

I am also quite sure that some people already do this, but i cant prove anything, so take that with a grain of salt.
You have to give the solo player a way to meet his currency usage on high level maps, if you dont, he will do stuff like multiclienting (abusing chaos recipe), but if you just fix the symptoms instead of the problem, they will create new ways to get that currency, and the last step in that chain is botting, and believe me, you dont want that.

Stop trying to fix symptoms, it doesnt fix anything.

There need to be better way to get enough currency to use maps.

Let's take that same idea and use it on something different. How much currency do you need in order to be able to use boots?

None.

Now - to get the perfect boots with the sockets, links and mods you want may take some currency, but the game doesn't owe you "enough" currency to make those boots.

There seems to be an underlying assumption that a map has to have good mods in order to get more maps. While quantity boosters (party size, character stats, map stats, map size) will boost the number of drops, you don't have to have all of them perfect in order to sustain map runs.

Now, I understand players may *want* to always get high level maps, but that is no more "deserved" than wanting to get lots of rares and uniques.

I do agree it would be beneficial to have more maps dropping in non-map areas -perhaps convert one out of 10 chisel drops to a map.

Maybe the a partial solution for people wanting to sustain map runs would be a new currency type - let's call it a Compass, that is as rare to chisels as chaos drops are to alchemist drops. The Compass would add add a % to the map(same way chisel works 1-5%) but instead of quality and quantity, it would add % overall chance for maps to drop, and a % for boss (yellow or unique) mobs to drop maps. Make the compass a high level (62? 63?) item so that players farming the item must do so in higher level areas to obtain.

If i pay an exalted, i can buy awesome gear with that, including your imaginary boots.
If i put in an exalted into maps, i dont get shit out of it, but the game is forcing you to keep doing that.
The only thing that keeps me from playing right now is the abundance of higher level maps, no matter what i do, i just dont manage to get higher in map level.
