I don't really agree with the comment of it being boring/pointless - I think it's not more boring or pointless than grinding for legendary items (especially the ones you would never use anyway, just to "complete the set". Now THAT is boredom!)
In the beginning the legendary item (only the RoLS at that time) has been created to give advanced players something to do in the long wait between updates.
Nowadays all advanced players seem to have multiples of each item, so this proposed searching for rare components to beef up and specialize your equipments sounds like a perfect addition!
If there was but the slightest chance to get a more than cool ice-sword by finding some rare crystals that would require me to search the whole gameworld over sixhundredthirtythree times I think I would go for it...and I guess I would not be the only one!
The crafting part itself is more a detail, how the crystals end up in my sword I don't really care. It's the search thast holds the thrill.
So, instead of being boring and pointless, this would add something extra to the game to keep us busy, give more amusement and will require you to keep searching - and that's more than what most of the ideas currently being discussed do.
(I mean, weapon categorization and specialization is nice, but after 1 hour of gameplay you would have seen already what is has to offer. It provides only a small lasting amusement-value and for such a big chance that's a pity...)
