I partially agree with you in that we have no means to reliably craft on our gear. Even if we did we do not get enough currency to do so, which causes trade prices to skyrocket due to there being no sink.
I would argue that there isnt enough loot to be found on the ground that can even be crafted. For instance I am playing a 1h mace and shield warrior. Just a basic bitch with no broken interactions. I have not upgraded my mace in almost 20 levels. Nothing drops that is an upgrade and now the game is feeling too slow.
Have good weapons dropped? Yes, however they dont fit my build and I cant afford to just respec every time a bow or a spear drops.
My only source for upgrades has mostly been the vendor...maybe 85%. 10% Trade and 5% drops (unique items mostly).
Indeed, the problem with skills tied to weapon type will be agravated as more classes come into the game.

You want to shoot bolts from your sword or what?

So, being able to shoot projectiles with your melee weapon is nonsensical?

I mean, you can't use quarterstaff skills with maces and so on. In poe1 you could use skills like cleave with swords and maces, earthquake with almost any melee weapon, etc.

Given a mod pool of 50 mods and 6 tiers with 6 possible mods on a high level item, you have a 1 in 720,000,000,000 to drop tier 6 of all of the mods you are looking for at the highest tier.
That is POE2 for you. A slot machine.
Dont worry, I am sure TenCent plans some MTX you can buy that will give you the items you need. For the low price of $5.95.
I know that hasn't been announced but just research TenCent's past with mobile games and POE2 is RIPE for that kind of monetization given current drops. I used to think it was an unintentional defect. I think its possible its intentional.

It is pretty unlikely, implementing P2W in the Western Client of PoE2 would lose them probably more money because of the leaving PoE community. They already have the Chinese Client where they offer P2W (in PoE1), and will do it with PoE2 too.

I want to add, the mods make no fucking sense: Light Radius???? Hybrid Light Radius???? Rarity???? How do these make character stronger????
Last Epoch has x1000 times bigger mods pool, but all of it is reasonable.

I just want to highlight that this is a valid criticism. Somebody please put a golden star on this post.
