I just lost 30 Divines, please change this GGG

I had been saving currency to buy myself a good crossbow. I saw one on poeTrade for 25 Divines that still had one mod slot available, and the lowest tier mod it had was 30% reduced stat requirements. I decided to make an investment and buy it, then immediately purchased an Omen of Whittling to remove the stat requirement mod. What was the surprise?

Anyone who hasn't experienced this might think the following:
The chaos orb you use when Omen of Whittling is active removes the modifier with the lowest tier from the item's list of modifiers.

But no, Omen of Whittling removes the modifier with the lowest level that the item has. And what does this mean? Well, it's the mod that can appear at the lowest item level. For example, attack speed mods can appear on items with a level of 30+, all attributes on level 40+ items, etc. It has nothing to do with the tiers shown in the item's description when you press ALT.

And where are these levels reflected? They aren't. A player who, for whatever reason, hasn't previously read about this is going to experience exactly this.

Because of this, it didn’t remove the 30% reduced stat requirements; instead, it removed an impressive 17% attack speed, which turned a 25 Divine crossbow into a 3 Divine one.

GGG, if you have items that interact with the level of mods, reflect it somewhere. Otherwise, players won't know what's going to happen. It's not reasonable to have to consult an external page to figure out how an item, worth no less than 850 Exalted at the time of this post, is going work.

Just put the min level of a mod near the Tier level, is not hard. and there is plenty space for it. T3-lvl30, T4-lvl50. Or whatever you want to do, but please show it...
Think about how I feel, and how other people will feel right after basically destroying 30 Divines farmed in countless hours for nothing.

And please, refrain from useless comments like, "30 Divines is nothing; I can make 30 Divines in an afternoon." Because players like that are not the majority. For most players, earning 30 Divines takes weeks of investing a significant number of hours.

They need to show lvl of affixes in the game when you press alt to inspect item, it is indeed stupid. You need external website to craft, you were unlucky to begin crafting without watching anyone with experience in this first.
Indeed it is insane. I want to think that this is on their "To-do list" of things because it makes no sense.

If you hover the cursor over the T6,T5,T8 description of Mods a pop-up appears telling you an extended description of that Tier like:

"Suffix modifier "of the phantom" (TIER 8) - Attribute"

WTF GGG why in the hell didn't you think.. Hey, lets put, also, the minimum level of this mod, so players can know it when crafting.

Right now I must think.. Yeah, indeed "Of the phantom" sounds more powerful than "Of the Savant", no doubt it will be more level.

That is indeed absurd. And not only is the information not displayed, but from the description of the omen I would've never guessed I had to look at the ilvl of the mod. Not even if the ilvl was displayed
I saw this when Belton was crafting his mirror quiver. He had an excel sheet open with information he got from somewhere, and had to keep checking it before clicking every single omen to decide what omen or combination needed to be used.
I love it when people expect common sense from ggg, which is their weakest point
"buff grenades"

- Buff Grenades (Buff-Grenades)
What the hell? I also thought it would remove the modifier with the lowest tier. This is bullshit!
Holy fuck bro! I would be absolutely LIVID
GGG answer to all ya: "f k u, we don't care -- it's EA (Early Alpha to be clear!)". Deal with it.
that is indeed poorly explained.. sorry for u bro
