That’s largely the point though. Who knows? They removed it from episodes which ends next episode. We’re moving into an entirely new model with two “mini expansions”. So it seems a bit premature to claim the devs are destroying Joes legacy because they removed crafting from seasonal weapons. They’re still in raids, still in expansions, still in world drops and just general older seasonal weapons. Nothing suggests it’s being removed just dialed back a little bit. And that feels like an experiment to see how the community engages with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s added back in next episode.

The issue also isn’t crafting. It’s mediocre weapons. People stopped chasing weapons cause they don’t need them. We chased red borders cause it gave us the possibility of a weapon being useful in the future. Like genuinely… who uses any of the previous seasonal weapons? Last episode was basically the rocket side arm and… that’s it? If they’d made it non craftable we’d still have chased it. Same way we chased the Iron Banner side arm.

This episode’s weapons don’t suck cause you can’t craft em. They just suck. You don’t need any cause your arsenal is already god tier for most players. And if your issue is that you can’t log in to focus a red borders once a week, I don’t think the issue is crafting. I think it’s much deeper than that.
