Since Destiny is more or less heading towards being a MMO I think it should have more MMO features, such as crafting.
It would be cool right? The way I would see it working is that;
-Only craft Legendarys, Exotics will still be found the same way
-Add in new materials that are needed for crafting, such as a crafting shard for the base crafting, and then things like Solar Dust for Solar damage etc
- Blue prints from different factions for how the armours/weapons look
- Add Shaders to gun crafting so you can change the color of guns
- Be able to name your crafted items
- A choice of Perk sets, so not being able to choose them your self but a pack selection
I don't see how it would hurt destiny in anyway, Legendarys aren't exactly hard to find, and it would be cool to see how creative the community can be.
