So as per the title - try to change my mind or share your thoughts

cant change your mind, you are right, its cheeks.

It's hard to change your mind because crafting isn't actually crafting.

Crafting is not gambling.
Craft: an activity involving skill in making things by hand.
Thus, the result of crafting must be tangible items.
If there is no tangible result, it is not crafting—it is gambling.
In POE1, there are a huge number of deterministic and predictable crafting methods.

In POE2, there is no crafting; there is only gambling.

Gambling is what is trash. Crafting is great, but POE2 doesn't have any crafting. It's all gambling.

Omens need a rework.
They need to be very common drops. I mean exalted orb common. You see them everywhere, and they all have the same weight.

BUT here's where the change comes. USING the omen consumes more units of currency per trial.

You can design an omen that will consume 3 divines but it will roll lucky numeric values. Or 5 exalted orbs, or 5 annuls, or 10 augs...

MAKE A CURRENCY SINK.

Most fun crafting I played was this MMO Vanguard many moons ago... had to make ingots and mats and all of it had mini games to play with action points to correct mistakes and stuff. The only thing I saw similar was FFXIV Reborn but that was not as good while close.

Wish more devs made crafting ....crafting.

I wouldn't say crafting is great, but I'm starting to see some semblance of a crafting system (rather than simply slam the rng orb and done).

Omens/recombinator/essences feel like the start of a crafting system but the acquisition of materials/base types does not feel fulfilling.

Filling quad tabs with base types to reforge until a good mod appears to then use in the recombinator, which will delete 95% of what I've gathered, is just not fun. Crafting items which take up lots of inventory space (quarterstaves) is particularly annoying.
