Any chance, the people in charge of the crafting system could come out of hiding and publicly explain themselves?
They made a trash system and have been ruining the game for 8 months now, not changing anything despite the feedback of hundreds of players.

They made the system and are seemingly hellbent on keeping it as bad as it is.
They have been ignoring many potential solutions in favor of a system that obviously has no place in this game.
They should be the ones getting the heat.
Have them explain themselves to the community and see how well they hold up, when trying to come up with reasons for why they delivered the polar opposite of what was promised and what people have been asking for on a daily basis since release.

We have learned a lot from our previous choices and gameplay surrounding crafting offered within the Vermintide series. For Darktide we wanted to take those lessons to expand and improve in such a way that crafting would become a central pillar of player progression, while giving more impact and agency to you, the player in your preferred playstyle.

The nature of randomization and repetitive actions sometimes seen within crafting is something that we are steering to avoid in the crafting system within Darktide. Meaningful choices will be made with strategy and goals behind them, as you set your eyes upon that perfect combination of melee and ranged weapons for your class.
