Should iron items be crafted or rarely found or be common?

What do you think? Personally, I believe it should have stayed where it was.

I pick the secret answer:

Keep it before today's update!

This is a vicious circle.
First they took out diamond armour and made it only craftable becuase it was 'OP'
Then they took out iron armour and made it only craftable because it was 'OP'
Next, gold will be the main OP armour until they make that only craftable

And so on.

Golds actually not OP right now because you have to craft it. It works really well having a mix of leather and chain with a few bits of crafted iron.

Gold is worse then wood swords. :3

Is a gold sword really worse? I thought it was better.

I just checked the wiki, gold does the same damage as wood but has lower durability!

I think that it would be beneficial for iron to be rare or common. Its annoying to be skirting the edges (like a noob) and die the first night because I only have a stone/wood sword and partial leather armor. If something was implemented for specs then i would be more willing to go for the cornucopia to get some good items first, thought...
