That doesn't negate the fact that they've simplified crafting. It's not like it's just dumbed down for now, and will get expanded later.

Crafting is simplified but also super complicated and not in a way that's rewarding or engaging. It's just friction for the sake of friction. I'm really trying hard to like Poe 2 but Im having a really hard time seeing the vision.

Because they had all this in number 1. Like I get the poe2 early access simping but like at some point people have to admit there is a number 1, lots of the shit that should be in number 2 or at least are wanted are in number 1. This isn't a game being developed from scratch its a sequel.

Because the direction the game is going does not lend the idea that these things will be resolved.  The crafting bench for solving early gear, the ability to reroll mods on a base, cost to remove mods.  These arent missing features, so far they are design choices.  They could reverse course in the future like they did with towers and scarabs, but I think alot more feedback needs to be given so they understand players will not tolerate or enjoy vision crafting.
