Jewel slot removal kills build diversity

Path of Exile 2 is supposed to be a game where you make your own builds, correct? Crafted in variety of ways.
You guys want to encourage people to make different things beside what's currently most overpowered.

Then... why are you removing jewel slots? They are a lot of the times build enabling. Because they allow you to stack effects you can't find anywhere else. Not only that, they are vital part of the trade and they're a good thing to chase when you're looking for perfect stats.

But you guys removed the vital part of building. To what effect? Makes overpowered builds slightly less powerful?
All the while makes niche, underpowered skills reliant on these gems feel like garbage. To point where if you want couple of more jewel slots, you have to branch out to places that you don't care about. Wasting time, wasting resources.

My starter build for Dawn of the Hunt was supposed to be Temporal chains lich with pets.
But you guys murdered it. You removed the jewels slots which were ONLY WAY in the game to acquire aura effect increases. To lesser degree curse AoE and effect modifiers.
You murdered items. Specifically removed a corrupted enchantment that was giving 20% slow.
You nerfed curses, you nerfed curse activation.
Completely killed every desire to touch the game because for some reason having fun is illegal. Everything in this game has to be slow, methodical and do nowhere close to any damage.
And if you attempt to do something different, you will get hit by nerfs because things you use are strong in other popular builds >.>


Please restore the jewel slots. That's all I ask.
