Are map too big ?

Hi, hope you all have a great time for this end of the year.

I'm constantly wondering if maps are too big in end game.
My impression come from the fact that I don't play fast, I'm kinda trundeling along the waystones and it makes my maps take in average 6 to 10 minutes.

Often, I find myself killing bosses with half the map still unexplored. Also, it take a while to actually encounter citadels and other spécial maps on the atlas.

My question then, wouldn't the atlas be more fun if maps where 40-50% smaller?
More maps, more bosses, more density, more diversity in the tilesets that you encounter and more exploration in average ?

I understand that some ppl are turboblaster and use roah/other tech to speedrun maps but it ruin the all "slower pace meaningfull combat" side of the game.

What are your thougths on map size in POE 2 ?

6-10 mins is fine. Streamers usually just have more experience and blast maps faster. It’s like in Monster Hunter where the average hunt time is ~15 mins but you see 5 min kill times from the top tier players.

I like MH hunt time aswell but in POE, with the citadels and all, I feel like I'm constantly fucking things up cause I'm not progressing enough
