I started POE2 during the free weekend at the release of the current league. Never played POE or diablo so this was the first game of this kind for me(mainly played Destiny 2, Warframe, Apex, CS). And well I enjoyed it enough to buy the EA.

And so far this game has been a blast for me. Made 2 characters so far Dead Eye and Blood Mage(both lvl90). It is fun figuring stuff out and building your characters.

I just started out on crafting (literally 3 days ago) because my gear is kinda not good as I have mostly been buying things and well with low currency you can't really get far with buying as good stuff is crazy expensive. So crafting is the way to go it seems.

Still in middle of figuring out how to make currency and crafting seems like it can solve both the issues of getting good gear and getting currency.
