Please stop listening to streamers about the weapon crafting. It has been a godsend to myself and many others who enjoy playing the game but don't have time to farm out that perfect 5/5 godroll. However, I do believe that some weapons [i]should[/i] still enable that grind just for the longevity of the game, but those weapons should not be a weapon that's going to be removed from the loot pool.
The weapons that [b]shouldn't[/b] be craftable, in my opinion, are open-world drops, vanguard, crucible, and Gambit (lmao) drops. But Dungeon, raid, and seasonal weapons should be craftable since you're either farming the hardest content in the game, or you're farming weapons that will be removed from the loot pool. (I'm aware that you can get old weapons from Xur, but good luck with that. It's only a ~1-300 chance that you get the weapon you want, and then you have to get the perks you want as well.)
[b]Tangent[/b] - I've already ran into multiple builds this season that would have been great with a few different rolls from the Heresy weapons, but because we can't craft those, I don't have those specific rolls. And if I was able to see the future in order to keep all of those rolls around, I wouldn't have any vault space to hold them. Just let us craft seasonal weapons and raid weapons so that we can eventually play the game with the weapons we want to use while still requiring a grind to be in place for them.

Bungie said they are moving away from crafting so I don’t think it will come back
