Campaign loot feels bad

This patch has felt like a complete reversal of every single loot change that has been made since 0.1 to make campaign loot feel better.

Currency is back to being very scarce and skill gems (especially rank 7 - 9 skill/spirit) felt far too rare.

Has it felt this way for anyone else or am I just very unlucky?

Yeah. Loot in this game is bad. It is very rare that i get the "wow" feeling when loot drops. Currently running sorc at lvl 60 using a lvl 18 wand. Crafting material is so limited that i cant do "crafing". And i cant find better loot. Unique items are a joke.. dont know why.

I have played alot of arpgs and have to say PoE2 has maybe the worst item system.

I would love to play the game SSF and find/craft my own gear because finding upgrades for my gear is satisfying.

I dont find it fun to go to the market and buy upgrade with orbs.. so boring.

Yeah, crafting is too limited and convoluted/poorly explained. It needs a whole ui dedicated to making it easier to do. The way it is now there is a lot of ridiculous micromanagement and looking for things and trying to remember/figure out what things do.
