Marvelous understatement, superbly tonedeaf. slowclap

"Previously, Harvest Crafting was balanced by how difficult it was to get the crafts that you want."

Previously Harvest Crafting was balanced around removing access to deterministic crafting for the general playerbase so that streamers and people who otherwise invest an unhealthy amount of time in the game can augment their ability to peacock aspirational content. Harvest has been balanced around your personal vanity in doubling down on decisions that are harmful to the overall health of the game and on enabling the vanity of those whom you find to be your true target audience. The changes you have made are utterly nonesensical when viewed outside the extremely isolated and absurd way these people experience the game. The only people for whom these balance changes make sense are those that are effectively playing the game in item editing mode because they are, through their immense investment, are unbound from the limiting factors of scarcity and time.

"Now that crafts are tradeable, Harvest's power was reduced to be more in line with other crafting methods. We understand that there is a call for us to bring those crafts back but it isn't really possible while allowing Harvest to remain tradeable."

First and foremost, this is an arbitrary decision you have made. There is no reason why every mode of crafting has to be "in line" with the rest. This just a poor excuse to divert away from the real reason you are too pussy to simply own, even thought you do everything to express it short of wearing it on your sleeve.

These changes have been made to further the ability of the toxic, elitist community you foster to peacock and to turn the rest of your players into glorified bots for the upper crust of your game. I have been carefully following the discourse on the topic of all these changes and the moment I saw the conversation being driven hard about rewards, I knew it was only a matter of time before this post was made. Because to those against whom these changes are targeted the only important question is the presence of resources, which they tackled, allowing you to divert attention away from the rest of the things you've done to cripple the game for everyone else. These are elementary levels of manipulation and you are far less clever than you think you are.

I am done with this game, I was here for the dark fantasy ARPG and not as some fucking lab rat in your perverted capitalism simulator.

We are also aware that there is a lot of disappointment around certain Harvest Crafts being removed. Previously, Harvest Crafting was balanced by how difficult it was to get the crafts that you want. Now that crafts are tradeable, Harvest's power was reduced to be more in line with other crafting methods. We understand that there is a call for us to bring those crafts back but it isn't really possible while allowing Harvest to remain tradeable.
