I couldnt agree more. There are weapons, exotics and even strike specific armor i would grind for in d1 and never got. In d2 i wont do it. But crafting fixed that for me. I actually want to spend my time playing the parts of the game i enjoy. Using the gear i like. Not playing some activity im sick of repeatedly until i dont even want to play destiny anymore. I never felt any satisfaction after a long frustrating grind. I felt spiteful and bitter that my time was wasted in such an inexcusable manner. The people who complain about crafting do genuinely seem addicted. They arent playing to play a game they like. They play to obtain the new thing. Which usually just rots in their vault while they chase their next fix.
