why? it's a very easy way to make items, obviously you need correct bases or ATLEAST 1 correct base to get started.

Because buying these bases is hilarious lol. Whispering 1000 people to get few tries with the recombinator.

First off, "go trade" is a way to avoid the problem, but it doesn't really solve it. You pay extra and let other people suffer the RSI but the fact that alt spam is a serious danger to ones health remains. Which is plainly bad no matter how you put it.

Second, while alt spam is arguably even worse than trade, it's also a fact that trading for this kind of gear tends to be serious pain in the ass in it's own right. You'll likely have to whisper dozens of people to get the bases you want, go to their hide outs etc, all the pain POE trading brings with it.

this sums it up very well
its the same issue as with the exp penalty when we were avoiding doing a maven or any pinnacle boss because we had like 40% exp and didnt want to lose it.
now they removed the exp penalty from the pinnacle bosses which is really good.

trading for these items that exponentially get more expensive doesnt help the case, alteration rerolling needs to be adressed also because i could get 20 vaal axes with flat phys t1 but only 1 single hybrid %phys t1 speaks for itself.
