Since the "Riven's Wishes" are a completely free event, I'm sure [b]MANY[/b] players (myself included) that don't own Forsaken are going to be spending their weekly "wish" to slowly unlock 1 Last Wish weapon pattern. (Everyone raves about how meta Apex Predator is)
The [b]PROBLEM [/b]is that you [b]NEED[/b] the Forsaken Pack to craft those weapons. I understand the rationale of crafting restrictions on DLC ownership on a design level, but if they only way to obtain said weapon patterns are from those DLCs, why need the restriction? This has caused issues in the past for Free-2-Play weekends for expansions like Witch Queen, but those most likely affect a much smaller player base (as getting many of the weapon patterns in a few day period takes a lot of time, effort, and RNG).
THIS will become a big problem in 5 weeks when a large portion of players realize they can't craft the Last Wish weapon they have been chipping away at week over week. If possible, could you remove the requirement for DLC ownership to craft weapons? (either just for Forsaken for this issue, or in general so that players that grind F2P weekends can have access to their hard earn patterns).

Edited by Obi-Juan: 2/4/2024 3:47:31 PMI can't understand why people are so insistent on playing this game in a serious manner if they're just gonna be free to play. I made a free to play account to test what you have access to and it's absolutely pitiful. You've either gotta bite the bullet and go all in and buy the stuff or else imo it's not worth continuing. Bungie have had all this time to make forsaken pack free and they still haven't. How does that not wake people up to whether or not they want actually continue with the game in a serious manner? From what i've heard, you can buy and use the lightfall exotic armor when you don't have lightfall. So people really should just buy the exotics for the subclasses they have available. Like mothkeeper, the solar titan gauntlets, briarbinds etc... ignore the strand and stasis exotics unless you have beyond light or lightfall.
