Does anyone else find it cute that GGG asks for multiple rounds of feedback on a single div card, but 300 pages of player feedback on Harvest will make absolutely no difference to what GGG does?

It's pretty clear to me how much our opinion is really valued.

You know now that you put things in this perspective, I would like to change my vote from Watchstone to, oh say... a deterministic Harvest craft please! thank you!

So what this post is saying:

We made a system of better, streamlined, deterministic crafting that everyone started to use and was actually viable for everyone and not just top 1% of players. BUT we kinda remembered that we actually wanted the game to be about pointless grind and endless farming, becase WE think that is what people like. So we are going to nerf it to the ground so no one actually has reason to use it anymore.
What a schocker that the easier and more accessible system was actually used by players to craft items :O

@Lisa_GGG:
And I seriously wonder WHAT was "hateful or needlessly negative comment" about this? You can delete whatever you want, but it will not change the fact people don't want this and never asked for it.

(sure the wording might not be the same, but Iam sure I did not use swear words or actually insult anyone else than GGG pride in the original post)

Funny how they integrated Maven Orb Mecanic in the game and now witout harvest maven orb will be useless and be a 20c orb, witch mean bossing is dead again ... and who TF slam there items with exalts in 2021 ... are we going back to 2017 now...

What I am confused about is the simple fact that heist was working as intended! Heist ALWAYS was replacing the eyes wide shut appeal of the ex! You knew this! You designed it! Why would you bring it back and then act like you were too stupid to know what Heist was all along?

Strongly disagree. It is not too easy to get the "perfect items". I still havve to put the work. And a lof of it. Harvest was the only league i crafted my whole league. And i loved it. The only league that i played whole 3 months.

Basicly you are saying that farming 100ex for a mirror and then some for mirror fee is better and more exiting then crafting your own items over span of the whole league?

No shot.

Show me the percentage of players who slam their ex instead of saving for an item. Perhaps SFF players do, but trade? I played almost every league since open beta. I slammed MEYBE 5 ex total. Every single rest of them was used to trade for item i want. Not to craft it. I dont care for "slam exalt moment".

I care about progressing with my items. Progressing with my "exalt" progress bar to buy it i much less fun when i dont find current system beyond alt+regal available to me.

Not into this at all, last league was the most I've played in a long time and had good fun doing it. Crafting my own gear was cool as I was able to try out many more builds. Looks like that won't be the case going forwards anymore :/

Useless to complain, They wont listen now. They want us to be frustrated and to keep wasting years of our lives in this game without noticing... sad.

North Korea vibes

"We don't want to take away the feeling of closing your eyes and Exalting an item, scared to see whether you ruined it or not."

Yeah, every ISP nowadays have the same feeling and approach with the good old 56k modem and the classic noisy dialing connection. "We don't want them to take away the feeling of thoses few seconds while waiting for them to be connected and if you're able to navigate through internet or not tonight".

Hello GGG? It's not 2011 anymore, at some point even if it was a thing one day, it's now a thing from the past, a relic, you should start to live with your time at some point and go with the flow.
YES, some stuff ARE core-game mechanics of PoE.
YES, some stuff are signature designs of PoE.
NO, it doesn't mean it should be here forever be a burden.

Gems and 6-link are quite a signature design, Right?
HEY GUESS WHAT? We don't have 6-link anymore in PoE 2! Surprise surprise, apparently you can do it when you want get out of your way and remove some "PoE classic features".

Stop it already with the "exa slam feeling" bullshit, nobody use it anymore since X years already. Play your games, stop simply analysing data and get biased confirmation to what you think it means and get your shit together once and for all.
