Hey fellow exiles,
as per title, should Eternals come back?
Would that be a good/bad idea?
Maybe limiting the number of mirrored copies you can make of items, so it doesnt become pointless to craft a certain base/rare item once a mirror worthy one has already been made?
What do you guys think? Pro/cons?
edit: interesting answers really, it seems most people cant put togheter more than 1 word that is a yes or a no.

No. Perfect items should be extremely difficult to get.
I would love to have them back because i rather craft myself than buy from others if i can manage somehow. Standard is fucked anyway and eternals makes the league experience in crafting better.
You obviously didnt play when eternals were a thing...
As someone who played when eternals were a thing, it did not make the crafting experience better. Just more frustrating when you whiffed and had to waste another type of rare currency to try again.
So people with 30 eternals in standard lose around 5100 exalts, nty. Making crafting items pointless because there will always be better ones? Nty. Destroying 10% of the player base because you want a better experience? Nty. Making the end of the leagues boring as fuck because crafting will be useless? Nty.
YES please! As a league only player, it bothers me that there's an item I'll never get to use. Because of the existence of flashback, now league lasts just 2 months alive and within 2 month... ugh, nobody's gonna afford the perfect item unless the one is above lucky. The perfect item should be easier to acquire so the player can feel the complement.
Perfection should be easier to acquire? There's a reason the company that makes the game is called Grinding Gear Games.
Not sure if sarcastic or not
I'd like to see a (void?) league with no mirrors but eternals, imo eternals are only a problem because mirrors exist. If all of that cost was spent on a single item it wouldn't ruin the market like being able to infinitely dupe it would.
Noone would craft mirror-tier items if there weren't mirrors, it's be like 3 people who do it for the lulz but there's not enough currency in trade leagues to do serious crafting. The addition of annulment orbs is more problematic for crafting than mirrors, due to being able to craft items that aren't all prefix safely.
It really messes with the economy, but man, I'm really sick of getting masters to 8, which is kind of the same.
By now I'm actually so annoyed with masters, that I rather see eternals reintroduced if it means masters losing their level 8 craft options. Screw those mini missions, screw those rotas.
OP is stupid.. Expecting a yes or no answer while asking for pro/cons
no
No, a million times, NO. They can totally ruin the economy, really don't want that.
What's the matter? Since it's already ruined? All this subreddit do is cry nowadays, geez. Deal with fucked up economy please.
I really hate to see people like you insulting other because that would sound cool to 16 yo skater.
Did you reply to the wrong person?
Yes. It's annoying to have to craft 6th affix on every item that's for mirror service
Short answer - No
Long answer - No

FTFY ;)
Eternals destroyed the game so they obviously got rid of them... what made you think it could be a good idea to bring them back?
They didn't destroy the game. 99% of the player base never used eternals anyway. It devalued exalts because you didn't want to slam w/o an eternal. Now that meta crafting has been explored and no longer costs eternals I think it would be fine if they were 5x more rare than annulments or 10x more rare than exalts. I would however make them be i80+ though.
The problem was the same 10 people every league would farm uber atziri to get enough currecy to make a Mirror dagger then sell the fee's then make another one and so on.
Hell I think the best way to do it would be to make them untradable to prevent that from happening.
There's still an unlimited supply in Standard. "All" you have to do is farm mirrors, and repeatedly mirror a reliquary key, to get as many eternals as you want.
Okay, not happening, but it's fun to imagine.
No thank you. Eternals were taken out of the game prior to masters coming out. If Eternals were to truly come back, masters would have to be nerfed.
Eternals were in the game when master's were in. It used to cost eternals to meta craft items.
Ah. I played when eternals were a thing but took a break before masters came out. I came back, masters were still a thing and eternals were gone.
I don't think they should be reintroduced. It makes it too easy to craft undisputed items. I do think there needs to be an orb between mirrors and exalts again in terms of worth but eternals are not it.
If Incursion doesn't stick around maybe we could get an "Exalted Vaal Orb" that works as the T3 Corruption room altar. Those orbs would probably be worth more than exalts if they were ever introduced
The sink for these would be insane due to unique item sink, but exalted would still be worth more due to the sheer amount of sink required to craft items worthy of a mirror.
It doesn't necessarily need to be an orb.
Maybe a much needed Masters rework with new metacrafting mods. Or something similar to Essences, but that work with metamods.
Bestiary crafting is a perfect example of non-gamebreaking crafting opening up so many possibilities for the end game.
just bring back beast crafting im sick of rolling flasks
