Act 3 feedback with respect to keeping player interest

Act 3. Playing druid caster. Excellent design. But something is off. I'm finding myself not wanting to stay engaged like in previous leagues. Well.. in 0.2 I started 9 toons.. hates endgame. 0.3 I found myself starting only 4 toons. Still hates endgame. This league.. act 3 and I find myself unsure if I want to continue. Why? Still hate the unchanged endgame. But that's not the reason. Currency drops are what's turning me away now. And last league..

The stated mandate from the bosses back a year ago is CRAFT. Well. We don't have crafting. We have an rng game. Fine. But that's still not. I'm in act 3. No gold. No regals! Wtf? Where are regal drops? Where are exalts? Hell I'm even back on trans and augs. Wtf?

And worse going to the build a maze baloney.. every craft bench "adds extra mod to RARE". WHAT RARES?? I'm in blue gear. No regals. Wtf.

I have no idea what's changed. But this isn't keeping me engaged. If you are making a league mechanic around rares but removing rares.. wtf. Huge fail? I don't even want to engage with it.

I know it could be rng. Haven't seen much USEABLE gear with rarity on it so I'm sucking hard. But this isn't good.
