I think this is the best thing we could have gotten. It's not removed for the people that really liked it. And they have addressed the issue with powercreep that comes from Harvest.

People that are butthurt and crying in the comments don't remember how it used to be. I want the RNG of items to come back, some what atleast. I think we'd be better off if Harvest wasnt implemented.

To all those that complain, fuck off.

looks like you are complaining about stuff too. so why don't you take your own advice

Let's commemorate Harvest and some other good things that will have been gone in their present form before 3.14 hits later this week.

Link some of your good crafting examples which won't be possible going forward.

Here's one thing I was able to put together in the last couple of days just for the hell of it:

And I had a great laugh on all this butthurt with harvest nerf. :)
You can believe that it wasn't justified or done badly - your choice, my opinion - game has just got much better than before.

If you don't like harvest, don't use it, simple. You're not playing against other players in this game. Unless you're one of those inferiority complex losers who needs to show off his items to feel better about his "no" life, then only you think you are playing against other players. I play to grind my character to perfection, and without harvest 3 month leagues isn't enough if you're not an "unemployed" streamer or one of the aforementioned gambling addicts.

very well said :)

It's pretty clear that not a single Dev actually plays the current version of PoE.

Sure, I remember back in the day when you used eternal orbs / exalted orbs to craft your endgame equipment. But for the most part, that gear was very close to the powerful uniques at the time and so crafting endgame rares that way was really just min/maxing.

BUT that was also a much much much smaller game, and took far less time to create builds that could conquer all content. Nowadays, you basically need the tippy tippy top of the line gear to even do the endgame content of each new league. Harvest was the biggest and BEST fix for all the casual players that can only spend 2-3 hours max per day (if that) playing the game. A broader playerbase could access content on their own during the 3-month league schedule.

It seems like Chris only cares about the streamers and ultra-wealthy, no-life gamers that play PoE 12+ hours every single day. I mean the current league fiasco proves this even furhter. But they are actively breaking their own game to cater to the end-end-end-game that 90% of players will never ever get to reach without easier crafting and deterministic outcomes.

Biggest mistake of any game is continuously focusing only on the endgame and doing nothing to help out the early/mid/early-late gamers which are the vast majority of the player base. Making more powerful items accessible and craftable for more players is a GODDAMN GOOD THING. F Your philosphy, it makes no sense
