Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

maybe just delete harvest from trade league or something

[Removed by Support]
It hurts literally zero people for crafting to be like this. It's something to look forward to doing because you KNOW you have better chances of crafting the item you're looking for rather than just currency grinding to buy it.
People don't craft much before this because it's random and (surprising nobody) bricking your good items because you want an improvement isn't fun!
Being able to influence the outcome makes it fun. [Removed by Support]

I actually like the improvements a lot. Making Heart of the Grove fragment based is a plus and more encounters with the grove is a plus as well.

Nerf Harvest? Rly?

Ok, no more single stash tab/MTX.

You try nerf real money trade?
You try nerf bot farm?
You try nerf 0.1% player?
You try nerf discrod channel?

Ah. You only tryied this.

But what you do:
1) with this nert you not destroy real money trade. you give second life to real money trade. because item's price with 1 mirror of kalandra (300+ ex) it not accessible to most of player without real money trade.
2) With this nerfs, you give second life to bot farms, because they need more currency for craft old items. and they install new bots for this.
3) With this nerf you nerfed not 0.1% of player. You nerfed 50% of your community. Because 0.1% player have no real life or work. Because their work is playing in path of exile.
4) You give popularity of that discord channel, because they posted mirror service items. And with this nerf player's can't get this item's except of mirror service.

Whole manifesto gives vibe "Oh no, players are having fun! Unacceptable!". Just like certain trade manifesto.

LOL, so just another way to say that you made something stupid good and now you are going to nerf it. That seems to be the GGG motto.

P.S, create a button in my stash so I can delete all items in the current tab! [Removed by Support]

F-ing discord group ruined Harvest for everyone. I neven joined that group and searched for specific crafts to upgrade my gear. It wasnt easy. I was looking for 8 hours everyday. It was nowhere near easy. Im still playing the league because of the Harvest. Harvest increased the playtime of the league for me. Now it will be reduced to 2 weeks again. Ty again discord abusers for ruining game for non-abusers.

I actually joined the server last week to see what people are talking about. and its not a bad thing honestly. you can't blame the discord server when the devs themselves refuse to add auction house and such. and you cant really call it abuse if the service per craft is not actually cheap (average 5ex per harvest from what I see).

this change is actually bad for noobs because the top players with hundreds of ex will still get good item, and the casuals will not. idk why the devs are trying to shift the blame to the discord server. some of their explanations from them here are also contradictory to each other.

CRINGE

So, GGG created a problem, refused to fix it and ultimately used it to nerf shit to the ground.
GGG on their own volition gave players 10s and 10s of crafts per grove while it was rather rare to find. It should not be surprising that people felt forced to make the most out of it. GGG implemented only 10 storage slots so players felt the need to use them only on most rare and valuable crafts. GGG refused to implement any reasonable trading system or in contrary prevent trading of crafts. GGG's unwillingness to address these issue resulted in another round of heavy handed nerfs. Most insulting of all is this manifesto trying to justifying them by using these very issues.

Anyway, Harvest was all good while it lasted. I have hit my first, and very likely the only, level 100 character in Ritual League. I crafted my first Explode chest, and definitely the last one. I finally dropped and used my first Awakener's orb in this league and did not feel bad about it.

I will take a break from PoE once 3.13 finishes. I have already made a decision not to support GGG any further in $ terms because of technical issues and never-ending stream of bugs that they are not willing or capable of squashing in their releases. This is just a confirmation of my decision.

I'm sure Ill be back at some point in the future to play more so here it is to hope GGG will have great new ideas and better luck in implementing them in this awesome game.
