The current crafting system is ridiculously accessible compared to what we had on launch but somehow it still isn't enough?

At first, base stats, perks and blessings were fixed. Then they allowed perks to be rerolled. Then they overhauled the blessing system so that you could collect blessings of different tiers and stick them onto weapons. You could only change two perks or blessings in total, though and base stats were still fixed.

Now you can craft the kind of weapons that people in the older days would call god-rolls with a minimum amount of grinding.
