as per your title, removing enhancement cores from infusion fixes the economy because it removes the problem it itself created lol. that said, as your example with purchasing materials from spider; if they just didnt double in damn price, that would potentially solve a lot of issues as well.

[you forgot to account for the bugs that might insure from the immediate removal from infusion. While in theory these things could include people being blocked from infusion for no reason, masterworks requiring more cores than stated, a lowering of the core drop rate, and potentially bounties/dismantles that reward cores not doing so. Some hypotheticals but you have to account for everything.]

You have to grind more to masterwork than you do to infuse. It will take 101 masterwork cores to full masterwork your favorite loadout and that's all fine and dandy But the 16 cores to infuse every one of your gear pieces.... That's just too much?

I would actually be able to start masterworking my weapons and armor. I cant remember the last time I fully masterworked a piece of grear.

its not even about the cores anymore, but the damn principle if bungie doesnt address this concern ASAP by removing cores , there is no way i will buy anything from them in future , even if they release a free to play game i wont spend any of my time on it just to make a point

This is why countries no longer "peg" their currencies. That is set its value against a commodity (like gold) that is in fixed supply. It (like cores) rigidly restricts they supply of money...and has a smothering effect on the economy. By doing what they done, Bungie essentially turned cores into a PEGGED currency...dramatically slowed progression, and threw ice water on Masterworkign. So---like you---people hoard cores. They dont' want to spend them, because its such a PITA to try to get more of them. The problem is that they also threw ice water on the reward loop that sustain the game. Its like going into your basement and dousing your furnace. Yes it saves fuel...but it makes the house cold and uncomfortable to live in.

On the contrary, I think it would break the economy. Just think about how many cores you would get if you didn't spend any on infusion. You would have all of your gear masterworked and have hundreds of spare cores in no time, and they would become just like legendary shards in year 1. If they're going to remove or reduce enhancement cores from infusion, they would need to compensate for that by removing some of the ways to obtain them. I'm not a fan of the idea of removing them, but I understand that's what some people want. However, you need to realize that removing them without any other change would just make the economy inflate immediately and they would just be another useless material.

[quote]It doesn't[/quote]Fixed. [quote]Now, I also use enhancement cores to enhance my permanent build with masterworks.[/quote]Great. Then what are you gonna do with cores after you've masterworked your permanent builds? Let them collect dust?

wow. confused are you? this isn't a working economy. the value of cores doesn't fluctuate like the dollar. why would you infuse each item as you get it? dead wrong in that. why are you playing with things you don't want to? there's zero reason to not play with what you like. there's only 1 activity over 650 your gear takes you through it all. the issue isn't cores, it's people who lack understanding of how this game works. hence Bungie telling you people repeatedly that cores are not an issue

My only problem with removing cores from infusion is that we now have so many ways to get cores that it trivializes masterworking items. If they were to remove the core cost from infusion, I think they should increase the cost for masterworking items by one additional core per level, so I think it’ll end up around 25 cores. Then, masterworking weapons is still a fairly heavy resource sink, as I believe it should be. The armor shouldn’t increase in core cost though, as I think it’s a small enough bonus that it should stay pretty cheap.
