This video from Path of Exile player Nervyr does a good job showing just how expensive and ridiculous Chaos and Exalt crafting can be. Keep in mind that most players will neverreach double-digit Exalted Orbs, and plenty of players will see two or less in an entire league POE currency trade .

This idea is so far removed from how players actuallymodify items that it's almost insulting?

Again, I'm in the minority that thinks the Harvest changes are okay. I would have loved to have them not change at all, but I can see how GGG would disagree. I would consider myself above the casual player, though I spend more time making new builds than completing the ones I have, and Harvest is a great opportunity for me to develop very specific builds. However, the ultra-players are creating what are referred to as Mirror-Tier items with Harvest, and that just can't happen, I guess.

I also can't stress just how rare an Exalted Orb really is. Lots of players are likely to never find oneover the course of the league. I've played a lotthis current league, so I have found somewhere between three to five Exalts, and made about a dozen more from trading. The idea of wasting an Exalt to try for an item mod that has a less than 1 percent chance of occurring is downright absurd.

Grinding Gear Games: You want to nerf Harvest crafting? Sure, go ahead.

But don't pretend to know what the players want or how they play. If you actually catered to the community with your changes, you would work on performance, lower the quantity of drops, reduce player clicking, kill the bloat, or maybe add a goddamn colorblind mode. But no, for now I'll just continue using a single Chromatic Orb (changing the colors of the sockets of an item) and then pick up a gem in my inventory to let me know which ones are red and which are green.

I must also point out that this frustration comes out of love. I lovePath of Exile. I've spent hundreds of hours in it since quarantine. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and absolutely one of the best free-to-play games on the market. But damn if it isn't hard to love at times, this being one of them.

Anyway, here are some of my favorite memes from the subreddit in the past couple of days POE orbs for sale :
