[quote]Isn't that your fault for misusing cores? If some people have "5000" like you say, and you only have 3, instead of doing what you are now, look back on what you have currently done, and think about if you could've done anything differently.[/quote] I have to have the cores to miss use lol.

He could’ve bought RDR2 (and should’ve.)

Well it’s bungies fault of course how would it be his fault ? You make a dollar and spend 2 right

[quote]hi there, as someone who sits on average with about 150-200 cores; as of now any player is ONLY guaranteed 6 cores a week if you have 1 character. If you have 3 - that's 18 cores - not even enough to infuse and fully masterwork a single item. The rest of the cores are completely based on RNG - you can be very lucky and get a lot - or like most people - barely see any. The assumption that people are missusing cores is a fallacy as you have no idea of how anyone is spending cores. The general consensus amongst reddit, the forums here, and even podcasts including DCP - is actually saying people are actually just hoarding cores, and not doing anything until they get to 700 - which by then the interested to infuse and masterwork is almost gone as there is nothing really worth doing @ 700. The only endgame activity in this DLC is tier 3 reckoning which in itself is going to net you 700 gear as long as you're not at bare minimum of 690. This system, no matter how you slice it, is broken - cores should have never been added to infusion. also, as for OP stated the "5000" cores; it's probably safe to say they are referring to the "exploit" that if you were lucky enough to be online when the update happend you're probably sitting with an absurd amount of cores that you'll never run out of. Hell one youtuber posted his video, he had enough time to FULLY masterwork every item on his characters and vault and then stockpile cores in case bungie tried to remove the cores - @ least he had infused his gear and they wouldnt be able to take those back.[/quote] I agree and yes at least you get what i was saying. I think they should either be easier to obtain or just used to masterwork items. 5000 was reference to the exploit.
