Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

this remembers me of another company.I thought i got rid of activision blizzard when i stopped playing d3...or im still playing it? so confusing....
after nerfing all the last leagues meta builds and ascendencys i said ,no problem cuz better crafting will balance out somehow (not in every case),then u start nerfing the crafting ,again btw. if i want eternal suffering with a game i will play dark souls not poe. i want to see next league in livestream ,how u level up,gear up,clear all the invitations,kill maven,kill sirius aw 9 ,and reach at least 2500 delve depth in ssf,all in daily 3-5 hours playtime on stream.

We don't want to take away the feeling of closing your eyes and Exalting an item, scared to see whether you ruined it or not.

NOBODY DOES THAT !! You only do that for fun after farming/buying millions of currency to craft stuff.

Nobody take the risk wtf, if people want better item they farm the currency and just buy it. You don't just slam exalt like that ... do you play your game ?

You forget that noone forces you to complete the harvest.The same way you skip breach,abyss,legion and all other leagues that have been nerfed to the ground , you can skip harvest.The real problem from your point of view as i understand it is trading harvest crafts and not harvest itself.

Is that people's main hang up here? That people are trading harvest crafts with each other? If so that seems silly.

Quick List of Crafting types people trade:
Beast, Fossil, Essence, Bench, Currency, Syndicate, Temple, Labyrinth Enchants(Via Paid Runs) Completed Items, literally anything and everything they can.

So why not harvests?

Wait...but....why?....

This is silly and going to make my build totally not viable

Suggestion: Prevent targeting influence mods instead of preventing influenced items to be crafted, I wanna craft at least resistances on my influenced gear.

Eh oh well.

earlier we skip any leagues, but now time for skipping poe. sad.

Dear Chris and GGG team.

I believe it is time for our relationship to come to an end. I have had "fun" over the last four years with our on and off relationship. But as you continue to point out your philosophy on trading and on items is in direct conflict with what I am looking for in a game and rather than expect you to change for the better I need to realize that I am the one who needs to change or leave and I am choosing to leave.

When I find ways to have fun or builds that I find fun it seems that you stamp it out and I understand the need for "balancing" but I dont find the changes to be balanced. I find them to be devastating and removes the parts I was having fun with. If every change you make "balances" the game and I find that the "balance" isnt fun anymore than the "perfect balance" of the game for you means it is not fun for me. Im saddened that it has taken me over four years to realize that I only have fun in your game when it goes against your idea of balanced mechanics.

Thank you for the fun you did provide even though it was never your intent, but I am tired of changing every league to try to find the fun rather than just having fun from the time I start every new league.

I wish you luck as I know many enjoy this game for what it is, I just realized I am not one of those people.

Best of luck, breakups are hard and I will miss the good times I did have but its not worth the pain and time to continue to try to squeeze out any fun I can find while watching you actively try to prevent me from having what I find fun.

Those who are against harvest are clearly rotting the community.

Gambling is not fun.
