Agreed. Crafting gave a great alternative for players who both don't have the time for shinies and didn't want to deal with Bungie's terrible system that many players believe still has weight gate active. For those who complain and say crafting ruined the game, they seem to not think about the fact that crafting is optional. They can still grind out their god roll and, in raid cases, they can get their shinies from Master. An issue with that however is that a lot of these players who had been begging for the game to be harder are also the ones who don't even do Master Raids. Feels like a bunch of hypocrits if their reason for that is because Master Raids are too hard. On top of all of that, the point of the game shouldn't be on a priority of difficulty as that should be optional. The whole point of a game is for it to be fun in whatever way the player wants. If the only way to get good gear is locked behind the worst content in the game, then that explains why majority of the playerbase left. Well, besides the factor of a crap ton of bugs, terrible game management, and one of the worst kinds of CEOs in the business.
