What's your opinion on Weapon Crafting in Destiny 2?
Weapon Crafting has created a degree of controversy within the community since its introduction in Witchqueen. Last year we saw numerous tweaks and changes tho Weapon Crafting, as well as the acquisition of Deepsight weapons. During Bungie's "Lightfall and the Year Ahead" article, they annouced their plans on reducing the number of craftable weapons going forward. But this season saw the introduction of reprised Deepsight Last Wish weapons, which caused the community to ruthlessly farm Kalli for a grand total of [b][i]2.17 million hours that week[/i][/b] (According to the TWID).
With all the mixed signals, I am curious to know what is the overall community opinion on Weapon Crafting? What are the pros and cons of crafting? Do you like it or not and why? Should there be more craftable weapons or fewer? Tell me your thoughts and opinions on crafting below.

Haven't really messed with it since lightfall but last year I think I liked it maybe a little too much and the way they've tried to reposition more of the most powerful weapons within the harder content seems to have been a good idea. One of the things I liked about it most though was that it could be used as a way to keep up with endgame players in terms of weapon power without having to play endgame. I think that's something that should happen but it should be rare and meaningful and the grind required should be pretty substantial although not soul crushing. So whatever happens with crafting going forward I hope there are always a few weapons that are obtainable outside endgame that help people keep up.
