When did Players not like Sextants?

I've read it a few times and I'm curious. Was it when they added the additional Tier? When they made them far more rare? When they were plentiful? I found them fairly useful if a bit tedious.

Towers were functioning as a 'potentially' better Sextant system. So I guess I'm just curious when players decided they didn't like it and why they wouldn't want an improved version.

I always thought the 'favorited map' feature was stupid so maybe I'm just a different type of player. Spamming Mephisto and Baal was the worst of D2 so I refuse to map spam also.

I seriously doubt players enjoy putting 4 things in a map device every run.
This seems worse in pretty much every way so I don't get it.

The entire time. People disliked sextants the entire time.

I am curious too actually, what was wrong about them?
I played with sextants, it didn't feel that horrendous: you apply them, they add bonuses to your map, that's it.

you dont need to do it every run. you can put 20 of each scarab that will last 20 maps

sextants you had to replace after every 3 or 4 maps. rolling them yourself was a pain so you had to buy them off trade.; it was pretty much mandatory, unless you want to roll 100 times to get what you want

scarabs are just way better
