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.

  • Yeah, I'm not going for Tier 5. If I get one, I get one, but I'm not going out of my way. As I've said elsewhere, this problem could literally be solved by having a way to upgrade tiers. Even if it was a less efficient way than straight up farming, bit give us the choice. I hate that I can theoretically (and actually have) gotten a god roll, except it's technically not because it's a Tier 1 weapon. Honestly, I would love a bunch of people to get together and actually get some data on the differences between tier 1 and tier 5 in terms of actual damage numbers because if past experience has taught us anything, I'm betting it's not much.
