Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

Honestly this is how I imagined it would've been changed when it was announced to go core. I'm sad that so many people are whining about it, after getting another league of free OP items with harvest.

For the record exalt crafting isn't exciting its nerve wracking. its so miserable that most of the people I have played with won't do it. its like throwing money away in a casino. Is that really the goal?

THIS IS THE RIGHT IDEA LOL

If you keep these changes in effect, you will sign that you are not playing your own game. You might not think you knew what HARVEST is. You have given people a great balanced crafting tool and you want to pick it up. It's just a slap in the face of a fairly large section of the audience. I think the next league online will show it perfectly. Personally, I played League Ritual for over 1 month, only from HARVEST. You have miners who farm a ton of currency per hour, but there is no problem with them. And there are problems with HARVEST :)))))))) Harvest finally gave this game craft, and not the casino it was before. You do not have an MMO RPG enough NERF. Confused by your variety of skills if a couple of hundreds are playable. After all, on the other 98, it will simply not be possible to get the necessary things for an ordinary average player ...
It was a cry from the heart, I hope you will wonder where you are going with such decisions. You do not know how to balance from the word at all.
P.S Google Translate

If you think people are whining, you're not really reading, are you?

They had a whole league to test it, it went core after some changes, players are happy with it. There's no logical reason to nerf it like this.

now imagine the use of maven's orb without harvest.
kinda lame imo

Only reason this is such a big deal is because ALL rare drops are garbage tier. Zero percent chance of great stuff dropping. If you wanna nerf harvest, fix rare drops substantially.

if gambling is this company solution to crafting. it's not seeing a single cent from me. 5000+hours ingame and too read such disconnect its just sad.

Preach, I will boycott next league if they dont remake the crafting system into something more deterministic. Even more deterministic than it was with just harvest.

I have been reading. It's just people whining because they want easy to make top tier gear. With harvest in the game gear starts to lose any meaning because it's so easy to make items that in normal leagues would be mirror tier. Really they just made this worse for themselves by making it go core at all instead of just letting it die.

I think that you understand the issues with the current implementation of harvest across the various dimensions of power, accessibility, tradability/ease of use, and balance relative to the rest of the game's systems. I think that you understand the various directions in which changes could be made.

I think that you misunderstand what makes the game fun for many people, and I think you don't value my time. I vehemently disagree with many of the principles espoused by your manifesto, and am provided with a vision of a game that I don't wish to play or support.

By crafting your game you choose your audience. If I'm too casual for your game, that's cool, I'll go play something else.

300+ pages in, and you can probably count with one hand the comments that either like or don't care about it (my own first reaction included). Let's see if GGG will listen to feedback this time.

Be honest, how many times did you had to restart a sentence from bursting into laughter that contained "GGG will listen to feedback"?
