Yes. I was thinking the same. Now is quick get a primal weapon. pre 3.0 you had to farm a primal and hope for a weapon drop. Now if you down 10 times, you have a weapon.

But also, yes, it makes the crafter Blacksmith mainly less relevant. And also limit a bit the number of weapons in the game and versality. Thing is, how to balance the difficulty of craft the weapon compared to down the primal. I think this is the problem.
