This post is directed mainly to Jonathan Rogers. Do you have a gambling problem or fetish that you are trying to force upon me? The crafting system is almost at the maximum disappointing and frustrating. It is a instant roulette of disappointment with no guarantee that eventually it will work in your favor. I tried to finish the campaign may times and I am one boss fight away from doing so at the closest but I always quit playing the game because of the gear progression system. The only real options at my disposal are go trade, which I find ungratifying if done is excess or make a sacrifice to the gods or RNG so i can get a decent item. As i see it in the last patch we will get some good new mechanics but in a proportional manner we will get more bad ones so the whole system stays the same as far as level of frustration. I want 3 choices of modifier from start to finish (transmutation, augmentation, regal, exalt and alchemy), I want to choose which modifier to reroll with with chaos and which to remove with annulment and so on. I WANT A REAL CRAFTING SYSTEM, NOT A SLOT MACHINE OF DISSAPOINTMENT then give up and go trade so I can progress gear wise.

So you want to be able to basically make items exactly as you want them, as if you had cheat codes?

Randomness is a crucial part of the crafting system, or else people would just all make exactly the items that were best for the build they were playing, costing them almost nothing, and removing all excitement from the process.

You haven't even beaten the campaign a single time, and you come here to shit all over the devs who have put this much effort into the game? That's like watching half a movie and deciding the whole thing sucked. The campaign is only a moderate part of the game - most people spend almost all their time in the endgame.

So you don't finish the game, have never played any endgame content, want them to give you cheat codes to craft exactly what you want (why even collect orbs when you'll only need a dozen to craft all your gear exactly as you want it?)

Chance is a central part of this kind of game - you kill enemies and have a CHANCE to find the sort of items you want. You use crafting orbs and have a CHANCE to get the modifiers you want. The entire excitement of this sort of game is that you put in time and effort for a CHANCE to find great gear, craft great gear, get rare items, etc.

It's like you're asking to get to choose your items from a list.

If you don't like to trade, play solo self found. If you don't like to craft, use trade. If you don't like to craft or trade, go play another game instead of insulting the devs because they didn't make the kind of game you would make - especially when you admit you haven't even finished the game ONCE.
