Definitely agree about harvest crafting and ritual league being peak Poe gameplay, but I'd argue we are at a great point now where we have some of the power of harvest without the complete crafting meta warping capabilities.
There's a reasonable path forward, across multiple crafting currencies, for most pre- mirror tier crafts these days that anyone could follow. I know that I've done more than a handful the last few leagues.
The build meta was definitely a little stale from mid 2022-mid 2023, but this league there is great diversity. Suggesting that the meta is still seismic trap heavy tells to me you havent really checked in recently - no one's using that anymore.
I've got 6k hours in and felt really bad during kalandra, archnem, and similar recent leagues but I think the game is fun right now :)
Ah that sound good. Like I said, stopped keeping up with changes 1-2 leagues after Sentinel, which was like the 3rd or 4th league with no meta shakeup. Also heard about some drama about big nerfs after exilecon happened (don't use reddit anymore so haven't checked what it was about) so I assumed that the meta was as stale as ever.
Might check out next league maybe, current league mechanic looked a bit boring but I'll probably yearn for the good old ritual times and play something else that actually respects my time
