I wouldnt blame yourself for feeling that way. I love crafting in poe1, wasting all my currency buying crafting mats to make my own stuff for 10x the price of the final product is my jam. It's got so many different ways to influence outcomes, mitigate bad rng and add special stuff like implicits/influences/elevated mods.

Where as in PoE2 I feel like I still have mental fatigue from trying to craft a quarterstaff in 0.2

PoE2 crafting is in its infancy and we dont have many tools to tilt the scales in our favour(im not a fan of the omen system). The lack of scouring also limits experimenting/learning. In PoE1 if a craft is bricked you can most often scour it and get right back to tinkering. In poe2 its "right back to gathering bases, will maybe try crafting again tomorrow"

Yes let's just make it into mmorpg.
Alienate the arpg players while you're at it.

Thank u sir! That’s the point really. if you feel like expanding on it, iam curuious where you think it crosses into MMORPG territory.

Frankly
I'd just stop playing completely and not look back.

This is where I'm at, professions feel so out of tune with what this game is (and generally wants to be) as to be poison to any notion of fun. Even crafting is on that line, but at least serves a purpose.

This is adding busy work for nothing.

Yes ! lets have professions, like we have at MMO's but simplified or adjusted or whatever.

like adjusting modifiers , crafting a uniqe item maybe?

i.e. if u are tailor u can craft only certain base items etc.

i.e if u are a rune carver u can adjust something on rune, whatever...

ideas may be billions.

maybe there will be 10 difrent profs. but every character may have mostly 1 or 2?

just an idea for more time consume into game :D

also GGG, hey! u can sell proffesion stash tab :ppp

Although I'd like the idea because I like MMO professions a lot, and I'd absolutely stop to mine ore and resource nodes, it would have to be a half and half sort of thing for basic crafting recipes rather than a full refactor of the existing system. One thing you need to realize about POE as a brand is that the playerbase is largely autistics who don't like change. If they do a big overhaul thats too different than what they're used to, or the core gameplay changes too much they WILL have a meltie. Like if Johnathan announced the cleanest nicest crafting system with professions TOMORROW the comments would be filled with "My exact science of crafting the perfect bow was the only thing that made this game unique and now I'm going to stop playing if you dont change it back"

why they needed to make poe 2? answer is that.

its new game

not polished poe 1, we should understand that and do not hesitate to try anything yet it is EA. nothing should be permenant, or promised. GGG and us must be open minded and TRY stff, yet as i said its EA.
