flasks in poe2

I expect to get crucified for this but...

I was really hoping to see flasks removed from poe2. but from the trailer at exilecon looks like they are still going to be a thing.

as someone who has used computers for 20+ years, my wrists just can't take playing an ARPG with mouse/keyboard anymore. flasks on the d-pad are just very odd to use in a reactive or frequent manner.

They also simply aren't fun. Flasks became this thing where you are just constantly needing to smash all flasks.

People have told me, just roll them to auto trigger. But that takes quite a bit of effort to find the currency and get the correct trigger for multiple flasks. It also just adds necessity and complexity in order to solve a problem of a mechanic that simply isn't fun to begin with.

PoE 2 was the opportunity to throw out the flask system. Are flasks truly necessary? Is it something where you are like, "oh hell ya, using that flask just helped me win!" IMO, no. cuz you are either auto triggering them or constantly smashing them.

my 2 cents. was the #1 thing I was hoping they'd change.
