90 crystals and no Spymaster

im 20 days + played on my character and have been trying to build a temple casually. Recently i've been trying to actually target farm the temple and for 200+hours now and i got half a spymaster snake done.

it's so frustrating idk what to do right now.

This cant be bad RNG. I was doing fine because i saw a video that explained the game will feed you a spymater to upgrade your spymaster, so you lock the lvl 1 spymaster so it doesnt despawn and it was working i was getting spymasters and not going 20+ temples without seeing one.
Then somehow i accidently got to lvl 1 spymasters in my chain and i have gone 90 crystals with no spymaster making me think i need to let my temple despawn until theres are done and hope that fixes it.

YOU GOT ALL THESE PEOPLE WITH FULLY BUILT TEMPLES - and i just want to experience the darn mechanic to its fullest. IT'S SO FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU GO THROUGH ALL THESE TEMPLES AND PUT ALL THIS TIME TO FARM AND GET THE MECHANIC TO WERE IT IS ACTUALLY WORTH THE TIME INVESTMENT AND wtf

I dont know what to say and just need an outlet for my frustration. I dont want to play another game but this is miserable.
The temple mechanic is great and i hope it stays in the league. I wasnt mad about people doing holten or the economy. I never thought the temple rewards sucked and needed buffed. In the beginning of the league i spent my time building up special rooms farming the architect and was going to fill it up and do aztri for the first time with a BIG BOOM of special rooms all at once. DEFINITLEY NOT THE MOST PROFITABLE WAY because i believe you cant buff the special rooms BUT IT WAS THE WAY I WAS DOING IT. and then for some DUMB REASON Yall added a minimum of rooms to be completed before you could do more architects... MY TEMPLE WAS 3/4 OF THE WAY FULL OF SPECIAL ROOMS WHEN YOU CHANGED THAT... meaning you bricked my temple... which WASNT EVEN PROFITABLE compared to what other people was doing... i spent WEEKS putting that together. But its alright , i just did all the rooms and started over and tried to do what everyone else was doing to make it profitable and worth the time. So i did expeditions farming logbooks while slowly trying to build a temple but put a commander in my snake chain and that bricks the snake chain so i had to let it despawn, and i never hard focused on the snake and was putting other rooms down which made the snake take longer to get done SO I STOPPED PUTTING RANDOM ROOMS DOWN AND JUST FOCUSED ON THE SPYMASTER SNAKE and now i cant get anymore spymasters to drop and i got so angry i just let my Russian tech to my next spymaster despawn and turned off the game.
Why.
I spent the last couple nights using the grand project tablets so i could really try and farm crystals tonight after getting off work and try and finish my spymaster snake ... which ISNT EVEN HALF OF THE TEMPLE ITS NOT EVEN THE FIRST 1/4 OF THE TEMPLE and i just hit a brickwall... 90 crystals... no spymaster.
Why.

And get rid of the omen of light drop requirment of kiting the amanu monster out of the shroud. As a frost melee werewolf when i try to do what everyone suggests and do it with DELIURUM the DELIRUM buff just makes the amanu dude sit there and cast sparks over his head and never move. I LITTERALLY SAT THERE FOR 5 MINUETS while it just sat in his cloud. AND IF ITS NOT THAT THEN HALF THE TIME IT DIES FROM MY MELEE EXPLOSIONS AND I GET OMEN OF LIEGE.
JUST LET US GO FAST.

AND HEADHUNTER + shroudwalker buff... I AINT DIEING FROM IT, but everytime i go pick up a piece of loot i get teleported away. NOT HAVING AGENCY over your character makes me angry. Lets add a new unique:
idea 1: UNIQUE LETS YOU ONE SHOT EVERYTHING, but every button you push is randomized!
idea 2: UNIQUE YOU BECOME UNKILLABLE! but your screen turns black and you cant see.

Honestly thats the only problems i have with this game. I love the ethical company and am not going to rage quit and will probably get laughed at for this post, but i just needed to vent. This temple thing... just let us build the snake? I can understand a little bit of RNG, but this is ridiculous. I hear people saying they go 20+ temples without seeing a spymaster? REALLY!!!
You dont have to nerf it, you can buff other ways to do the temple to give people more options. People could probably build XP temples and sell it as a service for people to level up. Or build it so they get vaal currency or atziri farm... but 20+ temples for a spymaster doesnt sound like RNG.
