[D4] Do white, blue and yellow items have to be useful even in late game?

But making white, magic and rare items matter in regards to them being useful as equipable items (even in the endgame), and them also being useful in regards to the crafting materials they give, are not mutually exclusive.

Legendaries in D3 already work like that. They are useful as equipable items, as well as crafting materials.

Bad concept behind all that is that you have to pick up everything. Not picking up even 1 item already means you are losing something, even a bit. This is just bad. Items should drop, but you mustn’t take everything. Again, this is tiresome to do so. Salvaging is a poor mechanics, that was brought into D3 only to make blues-yellows matter something. Ingredients for crafting should be obtained in a more entertaining way.
