Shaper/Elder influence being nerfed unintentionally?

So we will still be able to Harvest craft or use other methods to make a 4xT1 base and influence slam with Conqueror Exalts, using augment influence and maven's orbs (For its annul and elevation) to craft a desired item.

But Elder and Shaper bases will require either starting with an influenced base and not being able to use harvest augments at all during the crafting process. Or making the base and gambling it on add random influence?

Can we at least get an Elder and Shaper's Exalt to bring them to parity with other influence types?

This goes beyond making a "perfect" item, any level of craft for shaper/elder items are more difficult than other influence types with the new restrictions.

Elder and Shaper are fun, well designed, brought great lore to the game and their influenced mods are fun.

We will only see less of them and those mods.

But don't worry, you can still slam Shaper/Elder rares with regular exalts, just close your eyes and hope for the best, it's the greatest feeling you can have while crafting, is it not?

Shaper's Exalted Orb would actually give Shaper something worth farming for again.

Totally.

And just imagine the rush of a double orb + eye drop from Uber.
