97 % European , 3 % Subsaharan African here . <| sep |> Same . Got excited . Then saw 80 $ . Copped a CD dem high shipping costs tho <| sep |> yeah we would see a tweet from donald himself calling it out if it was like ' NOT A DRILL ' situation <| sep |> Okay , to rephrase itWhy would wandmakers go out of their way to cause harm to creatures when there are perfectly adequate methods that require less effort ? <| sep |> I dont see a problem for most builds . ssf you can expect a 4 link for some time and take the best you get . Otherwise there are gemdrops , labchests , gemcutter which can be rolled etc to get what you need . ofc you cant plan to play some cospris with 5 unique flasks and shit like that . But you can craft some serious shit , especially with essences . ssf is basically a whole different meta and a challenge for yourself . On top there is a more depth character progression other than ' buying stuff with lvl 69 and done '. It doesnt feel bad to use common trading currency like chaos or exalts to craft since you wont do anything else with it anyway . If you dont like it , dont participate
