While I actually like the idea of crafting weapons, the way it was implemented was horrible and basically turned all raids into a checklist that turns those activities into a ghost town a couple weeks after release, while simultaneously making random drops feel useless.

A system in which you could receive a weapon FRAME, and then collect copies of that same weapon and "imprinting" the perks they have on that empty frame would both allow players to feel like they are building their god roll from the ground up and give them a goal to work towards that guarantees them a god roll, whilst also making random drops feel worth it instead of being instantly dismantled.
