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.

Loooool, so that's what's it all about. Thank you for that information.

This does not make me look forward to the next league and actually kills off a bit of my enjoyment I had for the rest of this league.

Dont listen to delusional folks who say it needs to be balance around casual player cuz they are majority. Majority my ass, this isnt casual game and deterministic craft wouldnt make it one, but will surely ruin this game for everyone in the long run. Actually it is already ruining item progression and power levels. Builds can be brought to their full potential in mere hours with nothing left to strive for. I've made a character this league just out of boredom that was able to onshot A9 sirus and it's not even worth a mirror. It's just some 350 ex ish character that can do any content in the game. I've killed Maven bursting through her fazes so quick that i didnt even see her abilities exept for memory game. Is it really the game you want to play? Running around atoll for months to sell your crafts in discord getting scammed only to make any content in the game completle and utterly meaningless? I dont think so and hope GGG think so too.

It would be nice to know if the decision of not making harvest crafted items account bound is the technical impossibility or is by design.


Because the choice of convert harvest crafting (the only real crafting system in PoE btw) in something useless does not solve the problem of insane easy mirror tier craftable items, because TFT is there, and no-live players (minimum of players base I guess) will craft that items anyway, you are only hitting hard to casuals and especially SSF.

The reasoning behind the decision is correct, the solution is really, really dumb, because does not solves the problem, only solves the problem you have with casuals with mirror tier items, if too much of those items exits now is not because harvest crafting is because TFT, and TFT is not going to disappear.

If fact I could make a prediction, TFT is going to raise heaven, you are almost forcing ppls to go to TFT, the more difficult (time expensive) to get a craft is the more need to go to TFT to craft an item (and you know it)

BTW I'm almost sure you lie when you give us data or I'm the ppl with worst luck in PoE, I made tons of maps with harvest and still waiting to see a "remove life", "remove add chaos", and many others crafts I did not see yet this league, I don't trust your data, those crafts are just now insanely rare, but if you can go to TFT and buy it, obviously are converted in a common thing via extra-game pages.


PS: Of course I would not spend a single dollar in PoE till you properly fix harvest crafting, let see in POE 2, I still have hope in it...

Again this shows how little they care for the big msyority of the player base.

Well my my own nerf comes here I wont buy more support packs till i see Chris craft his own mirror item whit the currency he manage to farm alone.

I dont think its a good plan.Even removing the entire harvest content from the core would be a much better choice. All these changes will only lead to one result:it would be much more difficult(or impossiple) for normal players(or players that dont spend much time) to get ending-game gears.At the same time,top players can even benefit from these changes.These nerfs make the gap between normal players and top players larger. Perfect gears would be more likely to be monopolized.I dont think its a good news for most players.At least we can get good gears through our own efforts in 3.13,which is not a very difficult thing.But in 3.14,We may have to spend 10 times as much time and currency to get the same gears in 3.13, which is difficult and unacceptable for most players
