PC 18b152: I hope you guys are proud of yourselves

I think people are forgetting that you can't craft without scavenging in the first place. It's not like you can craft parts or anything, so I don't understand why it's one side at the others throat about it. If anything it's just easier for me to go scavenge than it ever is to craft.

I like that both systems feed into each other, even though scavenging, in my opinion, feels a little more powerful than crafting ever will if for only reason that it takes me a few minutes to loot and clear out a place versus repeating that process a huge number of times hoping RNG swings in my favor to loot multiple of the same things so I can break down in order to craft something. Not to mention the huge cost to max out the crafting in the first place via attribute points. I'm not complaining about it, as I've enjoyed it thus far, personally. I just fail to see how anyone can have some grudge against crafting when it takes a pretty big investment.

 
If you cannot craft the best items, then why craft? This will become the primary problem with A18, there will be no reason to craft.
Once you have scavenged your T6 weapon, what will be your motivation to scavenge further?

Oh, a T6 weapon which has a chance of being a tiny margin better? I don't think so.

I'm not annoyed, though. It's merely shifting the method for obtaining reward from INT+mats to PER+RNG.
Because, if you actually are specializing, you are going to gain access to good T5 equipment FAR earlier than finding the same for your main combat style.

As an INT build, my baton and one of my turrets were crafted until around day 60. All my other items were found in loot. Seems like a fairly decent system thus far - crafting equipment has essentially been regulated to filling gaps and ensuring that RNG Jesus dies not determine what your character needs to main in.

 
Going past 7 in an attribute is ridiculously not worth it. I don't get why the massive ramp up in point cost for attributes past 7 when the top level perks are nothing special.
