Will there be crafting in Destiny? and if not do you want it?

We find various items during our experiences throughout the world, most of them we just sell for a meager amount of glimmer or some other form of currency. However, my question is: will we be able to craft weapons, equipment, and maybe add enchantments to armor and weapons? If not, would the community like to see this implemented in future Destiny games. The ability to craft and enchant powerful weapons and sets of armor using elements and weapon parts, ect. we find throughout the game. Possibly even expanding crafting to temporary buffs, like a quickness potion but science fiction, or be able to lace our bullets with poison temporarily as in many RPGs. Anyways just thoughts! Main point is about crafting, is it in the game? If not would you like to see it someday? EDIT: two arguments against crafting being in the game are: We don't need it in Destiny. Well that is probably true but you don't want to start that argument cause it never ends until you strip the game down to pong. Secondly, the 'earn your stuff' philosophy. Well, I like this idea, so as a solution, have Fallen and Hive leaders/ bosses drop the materials you need in surplus. Then go into orbit and smith your weapon/ armor/ ammo pack/ anything (Bungie is creative). EDIT: I have been surprised and mildly disappoint that people are against adding something that is interesting and would make Destiny just that much more in depth. People's problems with crafting include: people making better equipment by crafting rather than earning it by fighting a boss. Well, for one crafting is earning. Two, you simply make exotic and legendary armor not craftable. Three (already stated above), make the necessary items for making weapons mainly available by destroying bosses/ major and ultras. Another argument against making Destiny a more in-depth game is the, 'I don't care for crafting' argument (the thinnest an yet most common argument on any forum). Well if you don't, then Bungie could make crafting, as it is in most RPGs, an option, not necessary, so you would never have to craft. but those who would enjoy spending time collecting material to make an auto rifle or a helmet and possibly name it, this would workout fine! My own argument for crafting: so far explore mode is boring and uneventful and grinding to the max. We know that this may not be the case for the September release, but it is so far very boring. crafting weapons could be one of many things they could add to this game far in the future to give explore mode some purpose.

  • I think crafting would be an amazing feature to add. The gun shouldn't be too good like blue at the max. The price should be a lot of materials and gun parts. If you had to disable an exotic or two I'd do it. If you could adjust certain stats of a gun and change colors that'd be fine. Its just cool to know that no one has a gun like yours. Sadly I don't believe its in because we saw nothing of it in the beta or alpha. Hopefully a dlc but it is highly unlikely.
