Sorry. That’s what I meant. I didn’t mean to imply 3 characters netting one infusion. I get it. You’re ok with that. I’m not.

Why? If not grinding core you'd be grinding for shards, planet mats, glimmer and the gear for infusion. Its grind either way and cores can earned along with the other need materials. I can somewhat understand the issue of cores for masterworking as well, but i question why the dialogue isnt change to lower the cost of masterworking. Its just infusion and cores slow down infusion somehow

[quote]Why? If not grinding core you'd be grinding for shards, planet mats, glimmer and the gear for infusion. Its grind either way...[/quote] Exactly. The grind was already there. I get glimmer. It’s used for several different things, but planet mats are solely for infusion, afaik, so we already had that time sink. In addition, the cost of glimmer for infusion isn’t pinned. They increase it, and they do so without notification and without increasing the glimmer cap. Then add cores. You’re acting as if there wasn’t already a grind, but there was, especially if you hadn’t carried 4000 shards from CoO. Listen, I’m not trying to make anyone angry. I’m just tired of people treating me like I’m crazy, or worse, lazy. And the fact that more than a few people are complaining about having to do PVP for a [b]one time[/b] quest, but seem perfectly fine laboring for a tacked on resource to fulfill a fundamental aspect like leveling, is just asinine to me. Cores are for masterworking gear. If they want them for infusion, get rid of masterworking. If they want them for masterworking, get them out of infusion. If they want them for both, increase the amount available so that both may be performed. Right now, people aren’t doing much of either, except those that glitched 1000s. Right now, how smart you are is determined by how willing you are to use what you don’t want to use. If you can tell me how any of this helps or is better for me, someone who naturally tries new gear when it exists, and it makes sense, I’ll stop talking about it.

So heres my question. If cores aren't being removed as of now, having been requested for nearly a year now, why havent people changed their approach and requested other things? Lower core cost for master working Lower glimmer cost Lower shards cost Lower planetary mat costs Its just people coming to the same point despite having been told no yet bungie adding more to alleviate one issue and I've yet to see a huge amount of people asking for alternative solutions. My stance is cores aren't changing as of now, find ways sources to get and maybe ask for changes in other areas instead of sounding like a broken record.

I’ve seen all those. The only one I don’t see mentioned regarding infusion is shards. I think the reason for that is only newer people have that problem. They’re more likely to just quit, and less likely to even know about the forum. Otherwise, I’ve seen all those here. It’s much harder to find now that the subforums were combined into the four we have now. Activity pushes them down. Personally, I think there are plenty of ways to earn glimmer. I just think that when costs increase, the cap should increase proportionately. I’m still wondering though, if you can answer my previous question. I’m not trying to be an ass. I legitimately want to know. I’d much rather be wrong about this.

I'm sure they've been mentioned a few times. However i dont think those topics ever reached the level as the multiple core threads until bungie approached them as spam threads and began removing them. Even then with the pinned posts it was centered around cores. If asking on how cores help the game with infusion, they don't. That being said though, they're not being removed either so why repeatedly ask them to be remove va something else? Even this conversation stems from that talking point vs shards or glimmer. Even the TWAB threads have cores still being brought up, not a anything else despite no on cores.

Yeah. I guess “no” is not a good enough reason to accept them. Then again, “no” as a reason has never been good enough to accept anything that doesn’t make sense.

But thats the case for how it is. So why not asking for something else?

As soon as you accept less than you deserve, you will increasingly get less and less. This is different from making a sacrifice that you know has a greater benefit. Look at the nerfs. I found the first whisper nerf to be unacceptable and unnecessary. As did most others. We went on because there were other weapons. Then they nerfed those and a bunch of exotic armor. Whether or not I agreed with or accepted it, they gave us a reason that said it was for the greater good. That was enough for some people. With cores, it’s just “no”. Well, at first it was meaningful choices. People thought about it and played only to realize there was nothing discernibly meaningful there. No one’s been able to answer that question. No one’s been able to tell me what’s better with cores in infusion. Instead, we get called whiners, lazy, entitled and stupid.

Bungie has given the answer of design choice and adding more meaning to infusion. Whether or not people buy that is up to them, but that's bungies reasoning behind their change. In terms of individual players, no one can give a valid reason as to why it cost even more shards, glimmer and planetary mats. So i really dont see how anyone not part of the dev team can validate having it. Then again the question itself is what benefit do we have for cost of infusion itself altogether? Cost of anything really. Added hurdle to do multiple things in the game. Personally i don't care if it stays or goes. As for the nerfs, those were warranted and better reason than enhancement cores. People may not have liked the changes but made sense nonetheless.

They didn’t give that answer. You did.

Uhh look at what you wrote yourself [quote]With cores, it’s just “no”. Well, at first it was meaningful choices.[/quote] And what i said [quote]Bungie has given the answer of design choice and adding more meaning to infusion.[/quote] the core change in and of it self is a design choice. A game design choice. Meaningful choices adds more meaning to infusion. So no i didnt make anything up.

Lol
