Actual crafting not being added to the game immediately. Massive dissapointment.

Crafting with Fossils / Essences / awakener orb / alt regal + multimod are still very viable.

But only if you trade for the materials.
I haven't found a single essence monster I could corrupt to one of the desirable essences, for example. And multimodding? I have found 2 exalts this whole league. If it weren't for the garden, I wouldn't have crafted anything this league, as usual.
Gamble-crafting is just waaaaay too expensive for people who don't enjoy trading or play PoE as a job. And if you don't mind trading, then you don't need to be able to craft gear and we're back to "gather currency so you can buy the gear you'll never find yourself". Jeezus, that sucks in a loot-lust game!

This is SSF gear from an earlier league.

This is SSF league this league and I've spend 4 exalts so far

If your point was that your gear is good and harvest is to easy then you failed to make your point with the gear provided lol

To sum up:

Casual Gamers wants deterministic crafting - easy life, less stress and less time (Work, Game, Life Balance)

Full Time Poe Gamers/Streamers wants hardcore RNG stuff - more views if they got one, exciting endgame goals (as they can spent almost all their day playing), making build guides that casual players cannot reach unless they buy the stuffs in the market (promoting trade core) and having a patreon/twitch/youtube cash grab for good content from casual gamers

Toxic Gamers - anything is bad, changes is bad, no changes is bad, new update is bad, no update is bad, only whining is good.

Basically, if the casual gamers will insist deterministic crafting, the full time poe gamers will eventually shift their bearing towards what casual gamers like as they are the one supporting their lifeline. If the casual gamers boycott streamers that do not support deterministic crafting, then the change will be easy as flash.

And there is a toxic gamers that whines about everything.
