Can we get some clarity on this? There actually have been a fair number of players wondering what's up with Weapon Crafting so it would be nice to have this information sometime before TWQ launches.
Bungie said that the first two missions in TWQ and the ability needed to find the Enclave will be free to all players. This is extremely vague and that's to be expected with Bungie; however, I'd like to explain why this is NOT something to be vague about. If a F2P player goes through the start of the new campaign and gets all the way to the Enclave just to have the store page open up saying they need to buy TWQ to gain access to weapon crafting, it will be a major slap to the face. Genuinely insulting to wait until that moment for them to learn. Likely, it will ultimately turn away those players and ensure you never get a cent from them again. So don't tease this "possibility" if you know for a fact that it's actually not possible. It just comes across as a real d*ck move on your part, Bungie. And do you really need to alienate even more players?
So, why not shoot-straight with us for a change, huh? Is weapon crafting going to be available to everyone? If so, how will that work? Will players who don't own TWQ only be able to craft a chunk of weapons from previous expansions they do own? Will it just be the same handful of weapons for all F2P players, like a set list of 5-6 guns everyone has access to? Just some clarity on that would be greatly appreciated. I'm not expecting any but, damn, would I love to be proven wrong.

hello there, Crafting is open to all players. While there may be some gear that is tied to expansion ownership (as there has been in the past), the ability to craft is not tied to the expansion ownership. [quote]Early in The Witch Queen campaign, you’ll be given an introductory quest that runs you through the ins and outs of crafting. In the first and second missions of The Witch Queen[b], free to all players, [/b]Guardians will uncover the Deepsight ability and be introduced to the Enclave. [/quote]

Pretty sure if you want any of the new stuff you buy the WQ expansion.
