As a relatively new player, the thing that seems unfair to me is the price of upgrading certain items. For example: distilling Typhoon gives you 6 essence, while upgrading it costs 9 essence + masterwork toolkit + huntress which makes upgrading this item cost more than twice its worth just for you to get +3dmg and +2 speed which is a joke. The upgrade price makes awakening certain items not worth it at all while pre-update upgrades were almost free compared to what the requirements are now. Also I dont't find statements such as: "oh you will loot something anyways" as a valid argument because there are players who have looted several items while having similar playtime as players who have looted NONE which often makes being able to upgrade a case of almost pure RNG. I am convinced the problem is the upgrade cost and distilling yield which needs to be reconsidered and reworked as it seems pretty much unbalanced at this point.
