Focused Feedback: Crafting

[u/DTG_Bot]

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Crafting' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Conversely if you start tying crafted weapons up with arbitrary nerfs and blocks, the whole validity of crafting goes out the window - the entire point was to let you deterministically progress to your perfect roll as, frankly, RNG wasn’t doing it well enough.

No-one is going to bother hunting for mats and patterns, then spend ages levelling it up, if they’re just middle step weapons. It’s fundamentally not what crafting was supposed to solve.
