Yeh the current system needs to go. I’ve put in a lot of hours and even though I would be a bit annoyed at the wasted time I would be more happy that we can actually make a decent weapon.
The glacial pace these guys work does not make me feel very optimistic… If something else comes along I will probably abandon the game as a failed venture. For the moment though I am still running the same missions and trying to craft a good gun I guess.
These two threads have made me think about that a bit though I have to admit.
