Why not bring back Crafting (Tier 1)?
With Tier 5 weapons existing now, why not bring back crafting for everything? Crafted weapons are inferior now, effectively being Tier 1s, but they would give casual players something worthwhile to grind for.
Personally, I have no desire to play Destiny in its current state. It is not possible for me to get my power/rank high enough to get tier 5 drops before Renegades, only to have all my progress reset back to 200. But, if I could grind red borders to unlock crafting for the new weapons, that would value my time enough to be worth playing.
Edit: Yeah, should be “Tier 2”, but same concept.
Edit2: Also, by “casual”, I just mean someone who can’t invest 80+ hours to get to max light, but otherwise might be skilled at the game. I have no problem grinding Grandmasters, raids, or Trials, just can’t feasibly invest the time to get up to Tier 4/5 drops every season.

I understand Bungie wants us to grind, but I really felt like they found a sweet spot with Echoes: Have a portion of the weapons be craftable, and a portion rely on RNG. We had the best of both worlds, but I guess it wasn't making the line go up the way they hoped. Hell, roll the whole Tier system into crafting, I'd be fine with that, a Tier 5 could takes, like, eight Ascendant Shards to craft, make it expensive as hell, meanwhile keep Tier 5 randoms dropping in the wild, best of both worlds. But then I'm one of the players who enjoyed crafting, so I guess I'm biased on this.
