Most of the responses appear to be relatively straight-forward, but the current economy for master cores seems to be unbalanced or inflated. I believe it costs 20 master cores to fully upgrade a weapon, and 2 master cores to even infuse weapons or armor without adding any additional benefits, but there are not any significant improvements over the previous benefits. My initial belief is new players are going to face significant challenges with the number of legendary shards and master cores he or she is going to be able to obtain (and maintain) as the player progresses in the game. Furthermore, I am uncertain why it would require any master cores to even infuse any non-masterworked weapon or armor piece into another. There needs to be a better option for obtaining [u]several[/u] master cores at a [u]reasonable[/u] price in this current economy. There is nothing wrong with a moderate level of grinding, but the current state of this expansion seems excessively 'grindy' in some areas. In my opinion, the cost of infusion, which includes planetary materials, numerous legendary shards, and master cores should be reduced from it's current level. There have been several positive changes with Forsaken, but some of the existing costs and benefits seem to be in place to unnecessarily extend the amount of time an individual expends playing the game. I understand your desire to make the game 'engaging' over a longer time line, but inflating the cost of certain resources or drops does not appear to be the appropriate answer.
