I think anyone who spends a good amount of time using Archery as their main style of combat will arrive at the same idea. A friend of mine and I were talking about Skyrim a week or so after it launched and I mentioned that I would have liked if they had allowed players to use some kind of "Fletcher's Bench" to craft arrows from raw materials. My friend was kind of shocked, because he was mostly a magicka-user and had assumed arrows were craftable, but because he never needed them he hadn't actually discovered that feature was missing. After a little silence he said "Ok, so then what's the point of chopping all that wood?"

It does seem like a pretty big oversight when you look at it. On PC a quick mod will fix the issue just fine but for people who have to play on a console, this can be very frustrating. I assume Bethesda will add it in with DLC, as has been suggested, but it'd be nice if people didn't have to pay extra for it :-P
