221 pages on a manifesto, oh boy !

It's just sad that this is a case where all the fun gets taken away because trade exists. The Harvest chase is a huge part of the fun for all the non-Discord people. But can't have that, let's 'balance' around trade and take away the fun. I wished it could stay in the game and let it be non-tradable in I don't know what form, heck remove it from trade leagues, keep it for SSF in the worst case.

Y'all shoulda never added it to the game. Heavy Item editing you took away once before with all the Jun mods nerfs... what were you thinking adding an even more powerful one? Not so easy to take this one away as player are in riot mode now.

Anyway shoulda just made BOA items touched by harvest. Would slow rolled process and keep players at their computer playing your game a long time.

You strip fun in the name of a greater (PoE) good. Imagine streamers (and all what it comes from them) leaving cuz item elitism/swag is less of a thing, right? Harvest needed to be tradeable, democratized, or totally removed, not this. But this is just me.

I really want 3.14 to gave me a reason to come back. Good luck with that.

one of the worst changes

NOICE

Wow.

Im a casual player, playing on avg max 2 - 3 hours a day.

With harvest returning in the form it returned, I felt I had a small shot at aquiring gear good enough to take on the end-game contact and that feeling was good.

Ok, it could take a long while before I finally got a harvest to spawn and then to finally get the craft I needed to take the next step on the item I needed for my build.

Then fingers crossed and hope for the best. If not, back to the grind for a week if I was lucky. Im 4 weeks into a new char, at lvl93 atm and for 2 weeks busy trying to get my next piece of gear in order. Still unsuccesfull but I know I have a small small chance of getting that item.

I could just buy it on the TB on console? Nope, I never have more then 30 or 40 ex, let alone I have the funds to buy something with specific mods. Simply too expensive or simply not available.

With harvest in current form there was at least incentive that it could happen. Now with this manifesto I feel gutted and feel destroyed knowing I will nevr make it to endgame and that being able to run a t15 or t16 map is my only end game.

Its a shame to see the disconnect GGG now has and that they are resorting to actions which destroy the more casual playerbase and in the end maybe do even worse for the great game Path of Exile can be :(

Wow, I can’t help but to feel GGG is extremely disconnected from their player base. Nerfing Harvest is something that will, again, only affect more casual players and is mostly irrelevant for the top end mirror making people.

Terrible terrible decision that only diminishes this overall amazing games.

I was coming back this week, heard of harvest back this league. I'm sad that harvest garden completely disapeared and not "adapted", this garden can be a very nice piece for hideouts, if rightly reworked.

I have quited since mid-heist league, I was tired of trading all the time. In all the time I played (at least 8000h), I slamed maybe 5 exalts and trading was the only way to have access to decent items for me. Deterministic is the right way for me, I don't like gamble at all.

With havest this completely changed, no more needed to trade like hell. Even with harvest it was very hard for me to craft perfect items.

You have to stop making this game for the 0,1% god players. You can do that without making the game casual.

Deterministic craft vs gamble and hard to access perfect items is actually the core question of this game. You have to put all your efforts and minds in that question for the cming times. No right to make an error here. Maybe I don't come back next time, and I'm not alone to have this mood.

The game is simply unplayable (in entirety) for most of us without a better way to craft. There is sooooo much to explore that having easier craft mechanics is really needed.

Maybe it's the end of Path of Exile, or maybe Path of Exile can be our game forever, it's the time of deterministic for all of us, it's the time of choice.

Meh, not the play.

'Harvest' was no fun, when it was a league and is still no fun to play. Please abandon it completely. Please ...
