UX improvement to prevent crafting useless or qualitatively worse items

A new player here, which was back-stabbed by game itself when crafting an item. I crafted fishing rod with carrot by not knowing it will remove all enchantments having on fishing rod. I lost Lure III and Luck of the sea III ending up with a completely useless item.

Offtopic, if any dev can revert this, I would be very happy, because I feel like being cheated by a scammer now.

Continuing. Game should really not allow player to do such action. Because carrot on a stick cannot even have those enchantments. Brand new player cannot know this. Game should politely tell a player they are going to lose those, or eventually prevent such an action. I consider this a super massive flaw in the UX. For new players like me this might be a show stopper. Nobody wants to suffer from jokes like this one. I have spent countless amount of hours into getting such a fishing rod and it was gone in a blink of an eye.

I'm very very sad..

  I got a response from support that my item is gone forever and cannot be restored.

  Anyway I still consider this a UX flaw. I'm going for fishing, I give a lure on my fishing rod and losing everything from it and even cannot use it for fishing? Jesus Christ this doesn't make any sense. This mechanic is a pure insult towards a player... Something should be done for players who just don't like to be trolled and waste their time. Like prevent it totally, inform a player of an outcome, or allowing to revert the process afterwards (disassemble item back to enchanted version)
