6 linking much more difficult that it should be

it is nice to have goals in game. And I dont care about peopel who play 1h a week and think they should be able to do everything.

bay the way, tabula is 12 chaos

When they start balancing around 6-links, they cease being unnecessary.

With the recent balance changes, they've begun balancing around 6-links (that is, poison gems in caster setups).

Cha-cha-cha-check your privilege!

Quoting Saltychipmunk:
...I look at the new act 5 boss where you have to hide behind the statues to survive the bullet hell and all I can think is... how the fuck are zombies going to survive that?

They don't know what hiding is... they don't know what dodging is... they are morons.
Even if it cost 10 fuse people will still cry.... I really don´t get it 6 links now cost as much as 5 link did in open beta but people still complain like wtf, same with map drops...
6-linking is pretty stupid, yeah. Flippers probably disagree, but then again... why balance this game around flippers?

A rare unique item is worth 3 exalt, a 6link version of it is worth 12 exalt.

A common unique item is worth 1 chaos, a 6link version of it is worth 9-10 exalt.

Seems pretty idiotic to me, to be honest. Values of unique items have fallen quite a bit (for good reasons), but 6linking has not been made any more easy (ok, 20% easier, according to GGG, whatever that means).
Remove Horticrafting station storage limit.
The game is free to play. They need to put as much as possible dragged out content and carrots for some people to keep it playing (if you are in that mind set that it will work on you positively and not negatively).

Overall its bad design and bad balance. You see a lot of similar problems to a lot of other free to play or MMO games. As they lack content, the only way to make some of the players play for 500h is to have shit drop rates, or bad mechanics that dont add anything (whole socket system, linking and colors is one of them)

1st paragraph is correct

Will it change or not, future will tell. But I play every time they release new content.

IF linking system will be changed there will be another system that will require long playtime. It will never change becasue of what you wrote in 1st paragraph.

GGG make game, they get money from people who enjoy this type of game. so they will continue to make this type of game as log as it will be profitable.

Listen, you never know what the future will bring. So nothing is 100%. Things can change, and the game can move away from the problems of free to play and MMO games. Or it may not. As said the future will tell.
6-linking is way to easy in this game.

Divination cards gives you an insanely cheap 6L chest or weapon (bow or 2H mace).
Also you got Tabula which costs a bit more than 1 divine.

Also it really isn't that expensive to fuse a 6L. Especially if you sell each unique chest after you hit 5L.

6-L is easy to come by. In fact to easy. Imo they should remove the divination cards that gives you a 6L.
