So their reasoning for the orb change is because they're gonna have some new quest/bounty/challenge that requires making orbs with the new weapon crafting thing. And since they don't want you to have to masterwork every weapon for the 30 minutes it might take to make the orbs they made it a mod. How about you just make the cost to masterwork half of what it is now, or make it give back more/all the resources when you breakdown the weapon? Adding yet another mod as a bandaid for something that could be fixed with a slight change elsewhere, that won't disrupt people's builds, is unnecessary.
