We already have tho, multiples.Raids give gaeting crystals which are currency to buy armor/weapon chests at aerodrome,Strikes give prophet crystal shards are currency to buy simialr armor/weapon chests at Eye of the North,You can also buy stat selectable ascended items for fractal relics at the fractal main hub, and ascended weapon/armor boxes can drop from multiple of sources including but not limited to pretty much all World Bosses.

And all of that skipping crafting system completely.

P.S. I disagree with claim that the crafting system is "stuuuuuupid and overwhelming", it's quite simple one, and considering crafting systems I have encountered in couple other games I had played in my life, it's a very solid one.
