Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting
" This, kill TFT Trades, not the Fun normal Players have with Harvest Crafting. |

" That. But we are back at the main problem that exists for years, the trading system. |

What in the world are you thinking about. Top 1% are going to get their items anyway, casuals who don't reach red maps won't ever see a harvest anyway, and all of us in the middle? I barely made one good item I was happy with in Harvest LEAGUE without buying anything from discords or anything, and now even that tiny thread of hope is gone. Can we get stats on how much the game designers, people discussing and writing these manifestos play? This looks out of touch. To hell with it, make crafts completely unstorable and unstorable and make em better, or just flat our remove it.

" Maybe you find fun in gambling your items with currencies. Maybe you find fun with buying what other people have crafted... I only find fun in PoE while slaying hordes of monters or improving my gear with deterministic crafting options... If one option goes away, the second is less fun and thus it is useless to even play the game... Path of Exile is a Casino for gambling addicts.
Gambling is not fun nor a game mechanic... |

"We don't want to take away the feeling of closing your eyes and Exalting an item, scared to see whether you ruined it or not."
Ok, I don't have much of a problem with this nerf, but this is probably one of the most embarrassing things GGG people ever said (if someone actually said such a stupid thing, maybe Chris just came up with that bs). This rivals with Blizzard's "Don't you guys have phones?" |

Chris, I dont know why dont you remove crafting completely from this game if you love rng that much. Just make rare item drop more desirable mods, so identifying rare is more rewarding. You can also make a NPC where you trade your currencies for a random rare with high chance of high-tier mods.
If RNG is what you want, be true to yourself and delete crafting. Period! |

"We don't want to take away the feeling of closing your eyes and Exalting an item, scared to see whether you ruined it or not.", After this phrase, you can stop reading, develop and play the game - this is not the same thing.

As long trading exists in this game, everything will be ruined because of it.
I remember when Beastiary was actually rewarding, Heist was, Betrayel was, Delve was... It all was nerfed as people used third party tools to exploit it, crafting items that nobody alone will ever lay hands on. From my point of view, removing trade is the only way to go, else this game will never get to the point where fun mechanics for solo players can remain alive and that means, POE is doomed to fail. D1-D3, Wolcen and many more games are successfull because you can do things on your own without trading. It might take longer, but at least its possible. Since the beastiary nerf, I have yet to find a portal beast, six links craft or something worthy. Leave alone prophecy where six linking, atziri mirror are non existend and I could go on with every single league mechanic that once was rewarding. This game is all about trading and this is the problem with POE, not harvest or anything else. Last edited by Ygidua#3074 on Mar 11, 2021, 4:38:31 PM
