I think the problem here is that what is considered gambling is subjective.

It's not subjective. You can tell yourself whatever you want, but we are all playing a game where reward is based on random number generation outcome, and that is gambling.

The only way to play POE without gambling, would be to RMT your currency, and then use that currency to buy the gear for various builds, purely for the joy of creating the build.

As soon as monster loot, currency drops, or crafting are included in your game play, its gambling.

it is subjective and only because you dont consider it as such doesnt mean it isnt subjective. take my example with counterstrike, where does this stop?
you can say me logging into the poe servers is a gamble because i might not get in. gambling revolves around risk and reward if there is only rewards to give which happens when i kill monsters but yeah then you can say "oh im risking my characters life then its a gamble on the other hand" i mean by that point you cant just argue against it if you consider literally 100% of the game as gambling and you're literally OBJECTIVELY right and everyone else is wrong

regarding "crafting" as gambling, you just risk to lose all the time you've invested into it and when you lose it then its not crafting its literally gambling, pointing out to other problems doesnt erase the original problem

whats the point of this forum then?
i think this gambling within the crafting system is crap and im not gonna let this destroy the joy i have with poe :)
