GGG, please allow us to downgrade the level of skill gems

Let's say I drop a level 12 uncutted gem. Can't use the skill I'm looking for because of attributes or whatever. Being able to take the skill gem despite not meeting the requirement & being able to downgrade the level to my wish so I can use it, is an insane QoL. And honestly having to go throught Ange to find the desired level of uncut gem is annoying 'cause not only players selling lower skill gems are legit stealing from you with overprice most of the time, but also the gold tax is really unnecessary for this (even tho it isn't much I must admit). Really limits the possibilities. Maybe keep that for spirit gems only ? Tell me what you guys think.

Well, when I use google to access feedback for Poe2, it redirects me here everytime. Are we sure the redirect is up to date ? I can't seem to find where I'm supposed to post it.

Found it but it's really unclear.

Not really, literally says PATH OF EXILE 2 EARLY ACCESS with a sub section for early access feedback.

And where you are posting literally has in bracket Path of Exile 1
Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi

He who controls the pants controls the galaxy. - Rick & Morty S3E1
First time posting I guess I'm not used enough ^^

This post just proves my point. GGG's second game needs to be renamed. It is not Path of Exile. It is a game that caters to a different target audience that has some storyline and game logic similar to Path of Exile, but it is not Path of Exile 2. SEO's are all out of whack for Path of Exile because of the existence of the second game's name.
i've actually suggested before. push all poe2 related news/forum onto poe2 website rather than combining it here.

btw to OP, check under "forum index" there should be a list of subforums.

if its your first time. welcome to the forums! please ignore any hostility. some folks here are grumpy.
