Why is Square Enix so lazy with making weapons lately?

[TheRealQuah]

At least they bothered with making crafted primal weapons semi regularly, and that doesn't explain why there's a bunch of missing items from the benchmark

They have said multiple times in the past - Crafted primal weapons are made by staff when they are "off the clock". So we might get some in 7.1. Or we might not. But they are always a nice bonus. Don't expect them.
