Crafting/economy suggestions

Watching social media at the moment it is quite apparent that people aren't happy with the state of the economy or crafting. As a relatively seasoned POE player I'm finding I have a large volume of currency that has absolutely no use.

I'm not concerned about the large inflation gap with ex:div. Div are fine, the issue is that exalts are bountiful and have absolutely no use.

Crafting is also unfun. Unless you're playing late end game targeted crafting is absolutely unachievable leading to bricking every single base.

My recommendation to fix this as follows:

Augs: Unchanged, vendor x to receive 1 alt
Alt: Rerolls a magic item with 1 or 2 mods
Regal: unchanged. Vendor x for 1 chaos
Chaos: Rerolls a rare item with 3/4 mods
Exalt: unchanged
Divine: unchanged

This would prevent bricking high ilvl bases but retain the need for all currency in it's current form. You can still easily sink 10-20 div into an item to get the perfect rolls.

The final piece of the puzzle is affix tiers. If you aren't going to change them to be reverse order. At least tell us how many tiers it is out of. T7 doesn't mean anything but if I see T7/11 I'm dropping that thang on the ground.

i'm a fresh poe2 player and never played poe1 before. anyways i played this game actively for at least 600 hours and i never managed to get into endgame crafting. never found a single purple omen, never found a single audience with the king. my character is able to clear every content of the game but it feels like there's not even a chance to approach the endgame crafting. to acquire a single whittling omen i should pay a price that is close to the first 400 hours of gaming (this is totally unacceptable).
for a normal person (if sinking 10 hours everyday into a videogame makes a normal person.. lol!!) this is just frustrating and not fair at all. an healthy economy is based on purchasing power, so going to work for a salary that cannot guarantee the minimum well being is just a waste of time and being jobless would feel a lot better.
