Keepers of the Flame f- Breach feedback

Just my thoughts.
Aside from feeling very big nerf to overall currency drop and farming strats on the low and middle end of the game, everything alse feels fine.
My real pain is the new breach mechanic. It was fun the first couple of days, where the genesis tree provided us with very cool and pretty powerful rare gear, currently few weeks in.. it feels very very bad. I just skip the defence breach and the breach fortress. It has become a very tiresome chore to do those and id rather just finish my map and jump to the next one to do the actual content i want to do. Without any atlas tree nodes and no interesting strat or way to buff breach drops.. relying only on the graftblood slot machine.. breach is a waste of time 99% of the time.
I can imagine next league we will get back the breach atlass tree nodes and there will be balance when it comes to the profit u make from the mechanic it self. Looking forward to that. My suggestioon for that league .. and for POE2 (if it ends up comming there), are first to make hive fortress entry with a fragment.. similar to the hivebrain gland. I dont want to spend 5+ mins extra doing boring chore each map i see it. At first was exciting .. but now.... its not.
Make it a fragment so if people dont feel like maping but only doing some fortresses .. they can do only that for a while.

Atlass tree nodes that buff the loot and options to exclude defense or regular breach from appearing in maps. Have a chance for extra regular breaches. Or make the defence harder and more rewarding if u chose to do that one instead. Add additional modifiers to the breach. Let us augment them with currency .. similar to strongboxes. Stuff like that.

Dont like grafts. For me they are too booring. Mechanic thats bordering to the d4 borrowed powers they do each league. Its boring.

Overall thats it. My wish for next league is to see mercs back. I liked them. Even if we are not allowed to hire them. Just as a random encounter with the option to take one item/inventory if we duel them. OFc .. no more one shot bulls*** pls. Maybe a atlas tree for them as well. Allow us to take 2 items. Or chance to get double of the item, Or chance to call additional random merc to the duel. Fun stuff.

Cheers.
