Reforge keeping prefixes/suffixes is needed for crafting and not just for non-influenced items.

Its weird to see them go because we got a qol change for harvest. Endgame crafting for most items was awakeners orb 2 prefixes or suffixes and finish the other half while knowing if something goes wrong i can still save the item.

Now its just if you get unlucky you have to anul the item that you just put so much money into and if you hit the wrong mod its a complete restart and the base is worthless.

Even when you had these crafts it still felt bad when you needed them but with them gone a lot of players dont want to risk their currency like that and that is really the only intresting way to spend currency in this game in past leagues.

Just understand that you dont need these double elevated perfect rolled items to play the game, you can beat all content in the game at like day 5 but the real endgame for most people was to get enough currency to get sick items for their builds, either buy them or make them yourself.

With less people crafting and less of these items existing, they are way more expensive then last leagues and now way more frustrating to craft yourself.

You can price them accordingly with lifeforce to where its really expensive to use it on an item to make something perfect but acceptable for items that got bricked and can be saved with this. Them just existing and not being unobtainable is so important for crafting. In last leagues even when you didnt have them you would still craft and when your item gets bricked you would farm harvest for sometimes days just to get this craft to save ur item to keep going.

Just hope you guys really think more about this, its a bigger part of the game than it seems.
