Feedback from a casual player - Craft in POE2

Hello guys,

I’m “new” to playing the Path of Exile franchise. The first game didn’t really capture me, but I got excited to try out POE2.

I noticed that the game is heavily focused on item crafting. I think it’s almost impossible to get a true endgame RARE item (like a weapon or armor) just from monster drops.

Unfortunately, for me, crafting in POE2 doesn’t really work for casual players. You end up wasting a lot of resources trying to make a good item and often don’t even succeed.

The game has improved in many ways, but for me, the crafting system isn’t great — it’s a complex mechanic meant more for players who already have lots of resources in the game.
