There is another dude like you. I mean one with your abilities to foresee the future too. Page 478. Do you mind collaborating with him for the lottery numbers? I'm sure together you can get it right for me! You know what they say right? 2 crystalballs are better than one! Thank you! (but you already knew I was gonna write all this right?)

Could you please use your crystalball and your ability to foresee the future to let me know the winning lottery numbers? Feel free to DM. You should also know the one I plan to play since you definitely have magical abilities. I don't have a crystal ball, so no, I can't. But I also don't need one. I know about 50 players (friend and acquaintance) in poe that spend 30-60$ every league they play and have fun with, and more than half of them (those that have a job and/or are otherwise busy with real life stuff) will stop supporting the game after this manifesto, because they feel that the game is not meant for them, so why would they support it.

Dear Chris, For once I think you are wrong. That won't make me stop and support your game, but being able to craft item as we had in 3.13 and in previous Harvest league is the main reason that made me play over two months every days. You must understand that everything we achieve in POE is always very time consumming, I mean like a lot. Here, this is generating more frustration. I'll do as before and skip crafting again, as I did with many league specifics mechanics that were ridiculously time consumming. Frustration is bad, progress is good. Nerfing Harvest because of Discord's trade leave me a very salty taste in my mouth and seems very wrong for people like me who never used this method. Friendly.

I spent $160 in POE before. No one dollar plan to pay, until: 1. Normal Trade platform, what I deserve, along with 100k other players. 2. Deterministic craft, to understand how to get TopLevel items in a clear way. Ok, let it way to be very expensive. But clear the way. How to craft the item in your own hands. Similar to craft 6L or 6socket need a lot of orbs, but deterministic and guaranteed. Pls say it for Cris.	Posted by SantaClaus1024 on Apr 12, 2021, 11:18:19 AM Quote this Post
The endgame trade is officially in discord with these changes. I don't plan to install 3rd party software in order to play the game. Thank you and good luck with the discord trade aspect of the game! Easy solution: Make the crafts drop as items (seed/juice), which can be used in the crafting device in your ho. Crafts that should drop items (like div cards, perandus coins etc.) should be used in the harvest. As it seems you like the discord bs, though.

How hard to type the harvest craft in discord channel manually.... also discord has web version so that you don't need to type at all This is the start of forum signature: I am not a GGG employee.

Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3 have no performance issues. play them instead	Posted by spaceace7373 on Apr 12, 2021, 5:35:47 PM Quote this Post
Nice please keep going the RMT in your game. People had countless suggestions about how to make it more balanced yet you decided to spit in the face of 99 percent of the players. Thanks. If only i could refund my pack that i bought, i would. Just forget about me and a lot of other people buying ANYTHING from your store from now on. The point is not being mad because harvest was an easier way to get good items and you removed it, the point is being mad about this decision because you clearly don't know AT ALL what is happenning in your game. Path of exile is great game except if you have something to do in life like laundry or eating	Posted by xCollision on Apr 12, 2021, 11:19:40 PM Quote this Post
