Crafting is like painting the Mona Lisa with a paint gun.

You know what you want, so you load up a canvas, maybe that canvas is blank, maybe there's a bit of one eye already done.

So, you fire, and if you miss, walk, over, wipe it off, fire again.

You repeat this mechanic of firing randomly, wiping off the mistake, firing again, and at one stage you throw a piece of plastic vaguely at the painting hoping it lands on a bit you want to preserve.

Now you can start firing over the top of what's there, again, just firing away over and over,

You only want 6 colours, with the best Hue and Saturation, but your gun is loaded with dozens of colours, with dozens of hues and mixed saturation.

You are firing over and over hoping that you happen upon the 0.01% (or worse) odds if the paint gun happening to load the right colour.

You can get a more expensive paint that has a lower range of hues, but it costs a lot more.

You might need to fire this gun thousands of times and clean up mistakes hundreds of times.

I don't know, could I get a brush and a tin of paint?

Depending on which specific item your working on, you can actually lock in quite a few desirable mods. Perfect currency, essences, omens, fractures, and abyssal currency are all powerful. There are a lot of tools to craft good items at a reasonable price, you just cant pick the 6 mods you want and easily get all T1s.

No matter how much this game needs to improve, I'm at the very least happy that it's already better than PoE1.

As for my recommendations for improvement? I guess just remove death penalty and it's perfee.
