Yes this. Crafting is a money sink and trying to get the best enchant on relics did that job. Now i have to wait for a relic to drop of the right item with the right enchant before i can use it. No one trades,so its not worth it to grind endlessly for that one mod i need for a build.

In short: Yes, this "fix" was stupid.

Generally, yes, re-rolling relics might be a bit too OP and makes getting what you need too easy,
but with the current low player numbers, you can't just trade for it.

And if there would be enough players to trade with, this "fix" would have been pointless anyways.

=> in the current state of the game, this is more damage than useful
=> in a "better" state of the game, this would be pointless

Because.

Upgrading items isn't normal ARPG mechanic. It shouldn't be. This is kinda enough.
