Revert multimod change, worst change ever.

This kills build diversity along with bow/stave and other quirky multimods like spellbows, spwllclaws, etc. This is a very poorly designed change which should be eliminated asap. It's not even about multimodding 450 pdps weapons, it's about killing many other neat combos like bows for summoners, claws for CoC and spellcasters, dexbows and many other combinations which are not attainable for 99.9999% of population without multimodding. Many other niche crafts for niche builds which are already generally weaker then metatrash.

Exactly.
High end hardcore players won't be impacted.
It's a huge blow to guys like me, the slightly above-average players (in terms of time played).
I've played quite a lot in Legion (compared to what I'm usually able to play), and I remember that finally being able to craft that multimoded pseudo-7L exquisite blade felt like a tremendous achievement.
I guess I'll probably never get an equivalent item in the future.

The vast majority of players will not be impacted at all, because the only thing this changes is one's ability to Annul off a bad Regal, and an item with 4/6 targeted stats is going to be good enough.

The "Can have multiple crafted modifiers" mod has been changed, now granting "Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers". Multi-mod crafting an item was proving too powerful for too low a cost compared with rolling an item of relative power. We'll be keeping an eye on the modifier to see if further changes are required.

i love it, i was tired of seeing nearly perfect weapon for 0 cost, thanks GGG !!

Eh, most crafted items cost at least 6 exalts to craft, not counting getting the item base and thousand of alterations to spam on it.

2ex for the multi it self, 1 or 2 ex per other mod (+2 socketed gems, Ele Pen etc)

Also not counting buying Imprint monsters or the time it takes to farm Einhar to get one. A good crafted item can be a real money (and time) sink.

You also have to farm Syndicate to get most of the mods (dangerous as F) and then defeat the Pale Council.

I think this investment should pay off.

This 'investment' is something i can afford within a week or so of playing if i tried and I'm not playing that much. No, it absolutely should not be providing people with perfectly rolled items 1 week into a league.
The MM nerf is absolutely justified and so are the other changes. Reading these comments is discouraging for me as I can see that GGG are trying to rein in the OP insta-shaper-kill meta which trivialises content that they worked hard on to make difficult and rewarding.

Stop whining and wait to see the patch notes/play the league before you threaten to quit and stomp your feet. It's a free game. The beauty of it is that you can TRY it before you make your mind up instead of acting as a spoilt immature crybaby when you have absolutely no idea of what the exact changes actually are and how they will feel when you are playing the game...
