Hi, I just wanted to ramble and drop some armchair dev feedback on a couple systems in the game. Thanks a ton for all that you do Bungie :)
[b]Crafting[/b]
· Why must I level a crafted weapon to level 9-12 just to make it usable with standard, non-enhanced perks? I would happily level a newly crafted weapon in the seasonal content if I was able to instantly equip the non-enhanced versions of the perks I wanted. Instead I'm out here shooting a field prep + gutshot straight pulse at some Shuro Chi thrall.
> I suggest just instantly unlocking all non-enhanced perks at weapon level 1-3
[b]Armor, Class Items[/b]
· I have about 20-30 assorted pieces of helmets, gauntlets, chests, and greaves, all with different stat distributions for uniquely different builds. Yet, I have 1, singular, solitary, class item. Why does the class item feel like it never got the armor 3.0 update? It just exists in a purgatory of vanilla d2 boredom. There is a reason that no one gets excited when a duplicate class item drops, there is no unique stat roll to scrutinize, no potential perk to consider - it's just instant garbage.
> I suggest either adding stats to roll on class items from a range of 20-30 total stat points to be distributed, or adding small, intrinsic, Origin styled traits to class items to make them more interesting and desirable.
[b]Weapon Mods[/b]
· I’ve felt like since weapon mods were introduced into D2, in PVE at least, there is zero diversity. You either equip minor spec, major spec, boss spec, or big ones spec and that is that. It feels like that extra 7% of damage at all times just has no competition.
> I suggest these mods be removed and all enemies just take 7% more damage to compensate.
[b]Shaders[/b]
· Can we please favorite shaders? Lol also can you explain why the 4 colors in the shader preview never quite match the actual shader?
[b]Comp and PVP[/b]
· The Emblem for Comp is awesome, more of that please. Just crank out some dope ornaments so that the comp population can thrive. Rewards do wonders. Also it would be great if you guys could go into some detail on the difficulties of making a pvp map.
[b]Gambit[/b]
· What if instead of invader kills healing the boss, it just spawned some yellow bar ogres in the center of the map? Idk, im just spitballing ideas here lol.
[b]Finest Matterweave and Rainmaker[/b]
· Yea I echo what everyone else here says, just let us cash em in for currency at this point.
[b]Exotic Emotes lol[/b]
· Why do some exotic emotes last 4-6 seconds? You are crazy if you think i'm dropping 10 bucks or 3000+ dust on an emote that fizzles away after like 4 seconds lol.
I love you guys Bungie and I love this game and I just wanted to post a few of my thoughts. Thanks again for all you do.

Crafting always seemed useless. I mean id love to craft but ive never been able to get enough red borders to unlock more than like 4 weapons total and have never seen a way in the game to farm them.
