I miss crafting

Title sums up nicely, but it basically sucks that we are once again at complete mercy of RNG in regards to loot chase. At least when crafting was still a thing, I felt that the time and efforts spent in this game were actual investments towards acquiring my desired god rolls. Now, every activity feels like a gamble in which the odds are stacked against me.

  • Honestly I do not. Crafting was a short term solution to a long term game issue. The issue: Too much RNG from Too many perks in the pool. Any given weapon can have more than a hundred variations with one and only one being what everyone wants. This also causes issues with balancing, and unexpected interactions that player figure out. Leading to never ending nerf train of whatever is the most popular at this moment. Whatever is OP, FUN, or just over used in Bungie's limited view. Crafting pretends to address this issue by letting players get the roll they want without the endless hours of grinding. But it just feeds the Nerf train, because when everyone has the best roll, everyone uses the best roll, and it becomes over used in Bungie's eyes and therefor gets nerfed. The real solution is to simplify, reduce the perk slots form 4 to 2, reduce the total number of perks form 30+ to 10 ish. Make it so the weapon is easy to balance, easy to adjust, limit the unexpected interactions by controlling variables. Make it so a reasonable amount of grind get a drop. ALSO make every possible combination viable, not the best but effective so that you can in fact use it. Reduce the garbage redundant weapons released so that you have one, 2 or 3 in each slot, not one one every type and sub type of weapon. Balance those few weapons so they ALL work well. Make it simple!
