1) not really. 2) the games economy would have to sky rocket. Prices would be very high. Maybe 25 leg shards and 40 planet mats instead of the 25. If it stayed the same infusion would be useless and spammable. Bungie doesn’t want this. They want you to decide if it’s worth your precious EC to infuse this gear higher. It’s how a lot of mmo type games work. If you’re having trouble stocking up cores lemme give a suggestion that made me go from 2 to 37 in 2 weeks. Don’t spend them on useless upgrades like 1-5 light. There’s practically 0 difference between 650 and 700 unless you’re doing IB, Reckoning, or invading in gambit. It’s so subtle that it’s pointless to do so. Instead of 675 per headshot you’d do 668. And the game caps you at 50 power above your enemies anyway. That’s why you do like 80 damage to public event servitor in the EDZ. Only infuse if absolutely necessary(like from 650 to 685)
