i got quite a good chest/gloves and tons of jewels.

i avoid crafting like the plague but harvest gave me the tools to craft them. after harvest is gutted i have no interest in crafting.

i might go into this league if jewel crafting is a thing tho i doubt ggg wants to give easy jewel crafting

Jewel crafting in all these league mechanics is the same, it seems like you're just not happy with your margins.

While I am probably gonna play this upcoming league, I feel no desire to engage with the crafting aspects it offers outside of what's necessary to complete challenges.

After what happened with Harvest league, being returned to the game and then gutted to uselessness for poor players, it's quite clear that any crafting league going forward will either not be added to the game at all (see Sentinel, Kalandra and Crucible) or it'll only be useful for rich players only (see Harvest).

There's so much potential in all of these leagues to make crafting more accessible to players who don't have mountains of divines on hand, but every time GGG rolls them out, they eventually take them away. So why engage in it? Why torture yourself with the knowledge that whatever crazy thing you make is going to get put into dumpster league (standard) that you have no interest in interacting with, and the means of crafting that gear is either removed permanently from the game or nerfed so hard it's no longer useful?

And let's not kid ourselves. After what was revealed in the stream yesterday, there's no chance in hell it's going core.

Honestly, I wish these kinds of leagues get rolled exclusively into SSF if they don't get added to the rest of the game. Seems like the perfect tool for a mode where the most important feature of the game (trading) is inaccessible.
