Crafting was fine, people just play the game wrong. Too many people treating it like a job.
"Once you get the pattern theres no reason to play that content again" Fun. Fun is the reason to play the game. But too many people are too busy trying to get specific rolls that a streamer talked about (because lets face it, "god roll" is subjective) that they forget to have fun.
Theres no real reason to remove craftong. The people who like it get to enjoy it, the people who dont like it can go along with their day and not use it. Everybody wins.
If they dont want to bring crafting back, just rebrand it as a reroll station. Have your normal versions with a chance for them to be red borders but instead of collecting red borders to craft the weapon, you get to reroll 1 thing from that red border
Agreed. No reason to remove it. You like it, use it. You dont, then dont use it. I don't get why they CONSTANTLY change things and how quickly they do it sometimes. It seems like the good ideas they don't give a chance to and the bad ones stick around forever.
