Well, I guess that is like in real life. There are those who put in the effort and reap the rewards and then there are those who don't and complain. I do have to admit that it feels good to belong to the former group.

thats just it, i HAVE a real life and play this game after work when i just want to relax not spend 5 hours on learning something related to a video game. GGG clearly only cares about people like you and the streamers which is fine,when i feel like they care about the casuals as well then i will support with a pack

Then maybe this game is not for you? There are plenty of games that have been streamlined for exactly this audience. Please don't ask for one of the few remining interesting games to be dumbed down. I guess Diablo might fit your bill perfectly.

As for having a real life. Who doesn't?

seeing you farmed all necessary seeds by yourself and completing 38 challenges ( yes i ve seen 40 done too) i must ask: how long do you play each day/invested so far? I dont want to be rude or something its just...the reward this garden offers depends highly on the frequency you are doing maps (and the tier of course) ...as everything else does, yes, I know ^^

So uh... maybe this is the wrong place to ask but is there supposed to be a special way to grow higher tier seeds?

I'm giving this league a second shot but growing t2 seeds is taking god forever. I'm just throwing t2 seeds into the corner of this garden https://preview.redd.it/azs0s9vsv5651.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=0efc52fa352f4966962fe6c128b2d349de5df3a5

Am I doing something wrong because I have like 8 watchstones left and I still haven't grown my second batch of t2 seeds yet...

My effort was my full time job, my reward shouldn't be another full time job. Video games should not be like real life.

PoE has been dumbed down and has been for a very long time, it's why it's a trade game, it's why you don't pick up items other than crafting bases anyway. The passive tree contains no real choices it's just a small optimization problem, there's no real choices in gear either. It's as dumbed down as Diablo 3 except the lottery tickets are worse.

Nothing can beat Synthesis and nothing will

Harvest already beaten synthesis by both raw number and percentage of people that quited week1, week2, week3 and every single other week too. It is statistically the worst league thus far, period.

i absolutely agree with this statement.

Every hopeful seed craft I’ve applied has degraded my gear. Even with multiple craft saves, rng takes over and gives low tier results. Ive done some gardening for sure, I’m 30 maps away from the grove boss. I’m not into casinos and gambling, though I do enjoy fossil crafting.

Look at the gear I posted. All crafted by myself. With self farmed crafts. It has never been this easy to craft your own gear.

So, the league works out very well for you we get that. I'm very pleased that some people are having a great time. That is what this game is all about.

However, a couple of things...

You are in the minority in this thread. Simply replying to every critical post with "it works brilliantly for me" is not answering those posts in the slightest really, is it?

Perhaps add in some context to your achievements in this league? I understand that things are obtainable if people put in the time at PoE University to pass the exams and learn the optimal crafting methods. However, answer the previous question and give us to context as to your results...

How much time on average per day do you play?
What average Tier Map are you farming?
How many maps per day?

That kind of thing.

Plus, incidentally none of this helps my particular problem, which is that Bloom causes me health issues. This is an issue no amount of study can solve that was deliberately caused by GGG and which they refuse to correct since the start of this league. Also, it's an issue that does not present itself in any of the other games that I have been forced to go and play, as they all (sensibly) still have the option to disable bloom, or don't use it at all.

I think that's more because so many people that are vocal about harvest crafting don't actually do it. Even if you don't experience 100% success rate with Harvest crafting, it is powerful enough that you can eventually get something good with it as long as you avoid modifiers it can't easily get rid of. Players still in the league can just buy harvest crafted items so they indirectly benefit as well.

It's a great league.

It's only invasive when you want it to, otherwise you can just collect seeds and plant later.

It gives access to non rng crafting and it's rather easy to stack up loads of remove/add if you use your blossoms/buff your fields.

I would never be able to make stuff like this in other leagues and I like nutching with them.

I also enjoy being able to make influence on bases I want and just keep adding influence untill I actually hit.
