Unpopular opinion : I like the crafting system of PoE2

lol trying the passive aggressive approach i see. anyway, rarity/odds is non-issue, something can be rare or 'hard to get' and be also part of everyone progression. currently most of those things have no progress feedback as they rely mostly on binary/boolean outcome. so you don't get a sense of progress. this is what i am stating here. it has nothing to do with how much time it takes or how unlikely the outcome is (those tow are the same thing) but rather if you can sense that you are getting there. its statistics vs perception/illusion. providing a user with feedback while not adjusting the actual odds will feel better. great example is poe2 6link vs poe1 6link. both rare, in poe1 if we ignore bench as it was years ago 6L not even guaranteed, yet poe2 feels worse/unfair because there is no sense of progress, even tho the orb itself is 100% deterministic. and none of this have to do with time taken- this is just yet another user perception/illusion that many fall into.

For me, its so weird that we almost all recognize how amazing GGG is doing to creating their game and communicate with us, and at the same moment, have the feeling almost all reviews here and on reddit are just negative about game and devs... Thats why I made this post initially, to let a place where people who like PoE2 could express their opinion, and devs to have a chance reading some positive reviews about their game. Btw, Im not here to make some "fake" positive review, I really feel the crafting system is good and Im enjoying it.

Fair enough. I believe I understand the argument and it does have merit.

I also like the PoE1 example of trying to 6 link something. That does hit home esp. with the "perception / illusion" that you alluded to.
