Some Concerns - Removal of Player Agency

Over the past few patches, we have seen the removal of:

- Labby boot enchanting.
- Labby helm enchanting.
- Labby glove enchanting.
- Labby belt enchanting.
- Syndicate Flask Crafting.
- Syndicate Weapon Crafting.
- Syndicate Armor Crafting.
- Syndicate Socket Crafting.

I really enjoyed being able to modify my gear to my personal tastes and creates themes using these systems. It was a nice method of advancement that let me incrementally noodle with my gear without pursuing the slot-machine of corruption. It made my equipment feel like "mine." Special.

Other than the helmets, there really wasn't a noticeable power boost, I just enjoyed the customization - fire glove procs on my molten strike, lighting glove procs on my "Touch of God" character - nothing really powerful, but always something I could tinker around with.

Please provide some alternative avenues to add player ownership to our equipment - thank you for all your hard work.

(Yeah... I'm the silly guy who actually named his gear in Diablo 2. Made it special to me).
