I loved almost everything they showed about the game -combat looks cool , enviroment is awesome, bosses seem really fun and well made -but with the latest Dev QnA it seems like poe2 is much closer to ruthless than we thought.

• Normal monsters dont drop flask charges

• Bench is gone (and so are metamods most likely)

• Quicksilver is removed

• Alterations/Scouring Removed - Crafting in shambles

• Harder to roll maps

• Gold?

Pretty sure there are more things but thats what i could get from the top off my head

Why do we take all the fun out of the game? Slower combat is fine but why does the game need to become like ruthless? How many more things like this are changing making the game to take a step back that we dont know about yet?
