I'm assuming this is prep for the Frontiers change they announced. Leave people to grind it during Episodes -> add it to crafting table during Frontiers. [quote]'What’s happening with weapon crafting? Weapon crafting is not going away and will continue to be a way to craft a specific roll of a weapon. Our intent is for crafting going forward to provide a catch-up mechanism for rolls you weren't able to nab from the original sources. This may be because that source is no longer available or was gated by lockouts when it was. But ultimately, we want crafting to support the weapon chase, and not replace it. We’ll follow up with more details in a future article. '[/quote] https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/coregame_rewards
