They really had something with the black armory, everyone (or most everyone) liked it, and look at that, people didn't have a problem doing the forges and the grind that came with it because it resulted in good to great weapons. That's the main problem with the weapon crafting right now, most of the weapons aren't worth it outside of a couple. They had a golden opportunity to bring back the black armory and tie it in with weapon crafting. The name is right there..... Armory..... As in craft your weapons at the black armory. I guarantee people wouldn't have an issue with grinding red border weapons and getting all the materials required if it resulted in a god roll blast furnace or ringing nail. They like recycling weapons except the ones people truly love. They could have brought that back, maybe tweaked the weapon crafting to make it more streamlined, brought back the weapons people love as craft able, then introduce some new weapons to go along with it, maybe even a couple new forge specific exotics ala le monarque
