Don't worry mate, the more you play the game, the better you become both in understanding the building process and the fight mechanics.
...
The way Harvest was in 3.13 made the game trivial. It was never supposed to be trivial.
Harvest does not make the game trivial. The endgame in POE is certainly not trivial today. What makes it trivial to you and some very good players is your experience ! Exactly what you said above. You find the game trivial not because of harvest but because you're a much better player than before.

...Then we find that this bomb was timed to manipulate players into coming back and playing the new league until April.
"Better come and make the most of it!"
They did the same thing in Harvest league, when players started to dwindle.
I'm totally sick of having this carrot dangled in my face. If pseudo-deterministic crafting is "against your manifesto" then you never should have implemented it, and then ruined this game by removing it - all to improve your new game which I will never play.

I play for 3-5 weeks per league, usually earn ~30-50ex in the process and this nerf just kills the only real chance to craft some decent item for myself.
It will be all down to buying items.
I'm not a gambler and I will not touch item with a hope to hit something with a 2% chance. Harvest was by far my favourite mechanic. Fosils are great too, but I hate delving, so it's one of the mechanics I just skip.
It's going back to pure RNG.
Add more stats with rare tags to avoid guaranteed hits, but don't ruin this mechanic this way.

I use Ex to buy stuff, never used one for crafting in 1500hrs of play and I still have crappy gear.

Ufff.. i really liked the more or less "save" progression of the gear with harvest. It made me come back to the league even after weeks... stil playing it currently for some hours a week.
With harvest its not like you play 40 hours and if you are unlucky you still have the same gear after the 40 hours playtime.
I think its a step in the wrong direction.
Agreed.
Harvest has actually given me a reason to hold onto gear for modding and attempting to make better gear. thus lengthening my play time in game.

They remove this bad news from the main page news and push a bunch of microtransaction posts. WTF Seriously

"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."
I hate this feeling. I use exalts to buy items. The fact that you can ruin an item is not fun. Not everybody has the time to start crafting from zero with each item every time the rng goes bad.
As humans, we generally are more inclined to determinism rather than randomness and gambling. Harvest needed changes, but not like this. It is sad that you are ignoring the majority of the players with these changes.
The purpose of a game should be FUN!

Using currency items like Exalted Orbs or Chaos Orbs on your gear is a powerful, risky and exciting way to improve it. But because these items work equally well on both low- and high-level equipment, it's generally considered best to save them until you're crafting your end-game gear. Many players would even argue that it's best to save them to trade for already-crafted items. In either case, using valuable currency items on your levelling gear is generally perceived to be non-optimal.
I would argue that 99% of players go an entire league, every league without having an item where the expected value of exalt slamming is worth more than an exalt.
This goes doubly when that exalt can irreversibly ruin your item.
What is the goal here GGG?
You seem hellbent on forcing people to trace for gear, yet will do everything in your power to keep trading as the inconvenient, irritating experience we all know and hate.
Listen to the mid tier players more. Your streamer pandering is ruining your game.

Terrible decision. The game finally went into a direction where every player was able to feel satisfied with gearing no matter how much time they invested, but now we're going back to playing builds that feel terrible to play unless you find/use broken mechanics or are willing to invest hundreds of hours per league grinding boring content for currency. Currency that you're going to spend on a trade site mind you, NOT on crafting items. No-one with half a brain will ever use an exalt or a chaos orb on "crafting", unless it's a guaranteed bench-craft. This is the most disappointing change to the game in recent memory and that is after the terrible disaster that was Heist league and some of the awful changes that have been made in the last couple of leagues. I wish I knew this was going to happen before I bought a supporter pack this league, but I guess I've learned my lesson.
Seriously, I finally spent some money on the game cause they were moving in the right direction for once.
Looks like it's back to fossil crafting, beast crafting, and RNG for crafters.
Back to trade league for the rest of us.
