Personally I liked the system we had in Echoes, it was a hybrid system, with some weapons available for crafting and some limited to RNG, it felt like it was the best of both worlds. Crafting was fun for me, I liked feeling like I had some ownership over my guns. Sure, I may have been using the same perks as everyone else, but this crafted weapon was "mine" in a way that RNG couldn't match. I liked feeling a connection to my guns, and knowing that using them and leveling them up would provide a return on investment. And I'm not going to lie, I liked being able to try out dumb stuff, like a triple shield perk Ammit AR2 (It didn't work very well, but it was fun to try!) I get it, Bungie wants us all logging in to chase RNG, and the audience retention for EoF seems to suggest they're onto something, but I do still miss crafting, I enjoyed chasing red borders, I liked the feeling of unlocking things, I liked loot that didn't feel quite so disposable. And the thing is, Tiered weapons and crafted weapons can coexist; a Tier 5 is going to be strictly superior to the same roll crafted just because of the extra enhanced perks. Bringing back classic crafting would give casuals something to grind for, while not detracting from the hardcore crowd, who would still be out there chasing the Tier 5 god rolls (hell, so would lots of crafters.) I don't see why we can't have the best of both worlds on this. Echoes did a hybrid system and it worked pretty well, and we've got Tier 4s and 5s now to encourage farming. Make six weapons craftable, maybe just the location weapons or something like that, and leave the rest to RNG. I just thought crafting was fun.
