Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

Let's just say the last time I REALLY enjoyed this game, in my 7 years of playing it, was during Harvest league.

I played one week of Heist because the lack of Harvest made the game get boring quickly for me.

Got super excited for Ritual because Harvest was making a comeback. Ended up quitting the league after a couple weeks because I didn't want to rely on TFT or Zana/Atlas Harvest grinding.

This further nerfing of Harvest isn't motivating me to want to play future leagues. Giving me a taste of something super fun and then killing it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Who cares if many people were able to obtain the best endgame rare gear within a short amount of time. That's why leagues are only a few months duration, and that's what ultimately brought overall endgame prices down within reach of more casual players.

So sadd that this really might be the end of PoE for me after over 4600 hours put into it. =(

this is the worst manifesto ive read. rip harvest. rip fun. rip poe.

So... This makes harvest almost completely worthless. But it's great that we'll get it more often.

Harvest is (soon to be was) an excellent equalizer. With patience and planning, certain high end gear could be acquired by players who didn't have thousands of exalts thanks to item flipping. It made the game fun again, because items were a somewhat creative endeavor, and could be "found" piecemeal if someone knew what bases to look for, and what crafts to collect.

Because the "pick up half a million rares" or "spam half a million chaos orbs" was never fun nor rewarding.

I'm sorry you backed yourselves into a corner by introducing a fun, albeit exceedingly rare, mechanic to the game, but taking away everything that makes it rewarding is a really shitty solution.

Instead of fking harvest completley so its not even worth to do. U could have changed it around so its not as op anymore but u would still farm it now its just another mechanic i wont bother doing because its just a waste of time like so many other mechanics in the game.

Congratulations, trade league players abusing the system over discord: these nerfs are on you.

Also, GGG: you are cowards. There wasn't a problem with harvest, there is a problem with trading. You just killed a balanced system that made SSF a lot more enjoyable because you don't have the balls to actually fix the problems with trading being far more powerful than playing in trade leagues (the entire "farm currency to buy gear" cycle instead of engaging with content).

KEKW, this must be a joke. Right Chris? Its not 1st april man. Its a joke, right? Please, tell me its a joke. Path of reddit LMAO.

why u have to screw with the remove option craft? i can live with the rest of all those unnecessary nerfs
but really why that need of be constantly an ashole?

"Obtaining perfect items is ideally close to impossible, with very few players able to claim that they have such valuable treasures"

elitist to the max man!

Bruuh look at this dudeeeee uhhh uhhhh

sirgog is running one the biggest crafting service in the game. Of course he is gonna be happy about harvest removed because that means less competition for him and people not doing their own crafting instead paying people like him for shit.

Conflict of interest.

But whatever, the only people happy about this are the ones who were monopolizing the gamble-crafting before and now they have their monopoly back.
