HUGE NERF. Only thing that can redeem it is if weapon crafting truly applies to ALL weapons. But judging by the fact they have already implemented new and special crafting systems for Raid and Trials weapons I HIGHLY doubt the system will replace it and extend to those weapons. So basically it will be the same as farming preferred perks on mediocre weapon pools. Much like season of the Hunt, Splicer weapons etc. But we gave up generating orbs throughout the loadout and a mod slot to get it. Not an even trade AT ALL.
