I have to say my peace about how bad crafting is in this game...

Having the best loot always be crap you craft and having none of the stuff that drops LITERALLY ***EVER*** be the best thing you can get completely ruins the loot fantasy of ARPG's. They're doing things weird. They need to completely gut the crafting to a bare minimum, and make gear drops exciting. There's already just way too many systems in this game that don't need to exist. POE1 and POE2 are both prime examples of why just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you should. I can take like 30 crafting items and throw them away and nobody would care. Replace them with more simple systems and RNG instead of allowing a separate item in your inventory to independently force roll prefixes or suffixes of certain items. It's gross negligence and over convolution of a system that doesn't need to be that complex. You can still have a system that requires the same amount of effort without complicating it with 100 useless items. You should not need to read a novel to master a crafting system of an ARPG. Nor should crafting be the dominant and soul path to the most powerful gear. Maybe for a piece or 2 sure, but not your entire outfit.

What you described is SSF. If you like trade then i don't understand your take

" Except SSF isn't the solution. Drops are garbage, all SSF does is force you to use garbage. And without trade, one's access to the means to craft proper gear is heavily restricted. PoE 2, like PoE 1, is balanced around trade. SSF only exists as a challenge mode, nothing more. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! And the winds will cry / and many men will die / and all the waves will bow down / to the Loreley |

" I agree. Loot is trash. Since 0.1 i use only white or magic bases. Also to OP: noone force you to use currency. If you dont want to - you just use what you find.
