We already seem to be at the point of needing a Ruthless mode for actual challenge

It's insane that we're already at a point where we need to ask for Ruthless mode, in terms of crafting (and associated player power) and mobility. I don't wanna spam Pounce on CD like in PoE1, I wanna sprint, period.
And HC makes no sense in EA where you don't have time to balance monster-outliers.

So here it is, a request for Ruthless mode:
- Remove non-basic crafting so that ground loot matters again (including this Omen nonsense of being forced to do Rituals).
- Halve the distance of mobility skills.
- (Don't fuck over my gems like in PoE1, removing choice is awful)

Done.

> And HC makes no sense in EA

A lot of people play HC and do just fine. You talk like there's no outlier monsters or BS deaths in PoE1 after over a decade of development.
