Diablo 2 had a better crafting system

for me, harvest is usually the last step to clean up a crafted item. Even with the annul gone you can do plenty with prefix/suffix reroll and meta-crafting/blocking. From reading the manifesto post, the only difference in next league would be that each crafted item would have a few unwanted affixes that you can't clean up to get 100% perfect gear on every slot (which is PoE's core philosophy to begin with, hence the reason mirrors exist)
