Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

worst change ever
You seem to be fixated on created content for streamers and no-lifers. Deterministic crafting in harvest allowed us normal folk access to some of the items that the, I play 16 hours day, group got. Now they still have their super items, but we can't access them, again. POE has become more and more elite.
The only way to get good items now is to have hundreds of exalts, and that's for the 16 hours a day crew.

But you know what annoys me more, that harvest is still in the dame at all. You dumbed it down to the point where spamming essences is a better option. Harvest is next to useless, with every streamer I know unallocated all the harvest atlas passives.

That change made their streamers loose their viewership on Twitch! The streamers who did not post on Youtube in months, now pumping out almost everyday a video. This kind of behavior is typical (according to Davin Nash) to draw more attention to your Twitch-Stream. And get this, "ghudda" now making Crypto content. Which tells a LOT about the state of the game in terms of profitability to stream with it.

That overall unpopular decision to nerf Harvest, made unprofitable to stream PoE fulltime for most Streamers in US and Europe. Which results in overall decline of the game popularity. And it did so in troubling times where Twitch-Viewers don't spent as much money as they used to. Due to Covid and insane Hardware prices. I suggest make Harvest great again, so that your beloved streamers get some food on the table.

On top of that, GGG decided to sponsor non-PoE streamers for the 3.14 start because the PoE streamers will advertise the game for free.

Tencent executives may be fooled by artificially boosting player numbers with the communities of big Twitch streamers, but that won't work on the loyal playerbase.

considering that the Asian market is about 10x bigger than both the US and EU market put together I don't think GGG will lose a lot of sleep over this.
Can't find a single aug craft after more than 300 plots seed? Why make it can't use on influence item even the craft doesn't exist to me?
Btw, i sold all my equipment for ex to buy 36 challenge cuz i can't even fix my res on my character, really fun league to me.
Just here to remind you guys before your next League, that the absolute destruction of Harvest single handedly destroyed my desire to play your game.

This RNG "Crafting" you have is outdated and old, and I was so happy in Ritual when Harvest came back. I skipped the original Harvest League out of fear it'd ruin the game for me, and after seeing it in Ritual, I can 100% say that getting a taste of actual crafting made me never want to interact with the old "crafting" again.

Good job guys. Harvest was the best thing to happen to this game, and you ruined it.
This is good for PoE
Pre and post 3.13 "crafting" is not crafting. It's pure RNGing dice rolling.

Change the name from crafting and things like "crafting bench" to "gambling simulator" or change it back to harvest crafting.
