Weapon shaping is dead. Great idea, bad execution.

Why? 1. You have to grind the red box weapons to get the material. 2. This prevents leveling up weapon you want to shape/reshape. 3. Takes time to get used to new rolls. 4. Weapons shaped have bad rolls. Even reshaped weapons with enhanced perks are not god rolls. 5. Random drops tend to have better stats and perks most desirable. For weapon shaping to be worth the grind I want to be able to shape a weapon that puts the weapon in a category that I want to keep, to use regularly and that gives me an edge in PVP and PVE. Otherwise what's the point? After 2 years of grinding and constant battle with trying to figure out what weapons and armor I want to keep I have decided its time to clean house including my shaped weapons and exotics (which is most of them). If I am not having fun.... it not me its you. Edit: (I am being sarcastic here just FYI)

    You’re correct and like everything they implement it needs to be tweaked and changed for it to be functional. It’s the start of it so just like armor 2.0 it was a better system but had flaws that needed to be addressed. I’ve crafted the exotic SMG, the initial glaive and I use them regularly. I’ve also crafted weapons to unlock the exotic glaives. I have a god roll piece of mind pulse and I plan on crafting one to compare how much better the enhanced perks are in comparison. I don’t think crafting was ever intended to remove random rolled weapons to chase but instead develop a group of weapons that are hand tailored for end game activities to enhance specific builds players use. With that said the raid weapons are extremely powerful weapons and can be crafted. Those weapons will be OP in any activity. So realize what the intention of crafting is and be patient as they improve it.
