************* New Infusion System is not good***************
I wanted to drop my opinion and join the hoards of players that do not believe that all the changes to the infusion system are good. Here is the thing, I get that you want people to play more often and for longer times and people were complaining that capping was too easy. But the new infusions system; specifically the requirement of Masterwork Cores and the current ways that players can acquire them, is incredibly flawed. So we need 10 masterwork shards to Actually Master work stuff, on top of 2-3 additional shards for each gear that we want to infuse, that isn't the same type of gear. At the rate that we can acquire powerful gear now; especially since the powerful gear is mostly just a few points above current level, lends itself to the need for an obscene amount of cores. However the chances of getting cores are too few and far between. The cumulative legendary shard increase with purchases from Spider is helpful but becomes too demanding. Legendary shards are also needed for other things....like to infuse. So if we can spend more Legendary shards to infuse, just increase the legendary shard cost to infuse and remove the Masterwork Core requirements. Another option is put into place some fair way to farm Masterwork Cores, instead of maybe getting a master work drop, and MAYBE getting 1 to 3 shards from them. The currency is too rare, I know you needed to correct the length of achieving higher power level, but I feel it's a bit of an over-correction. Put in place other ways to get around this core, say have 3 master work cores, or 20 of each planetary material or something. Just make it better, cause right now, at least for me, I'm sitting on 7 powerful gear that I am either FORCED to use, which isn't fun, or hold on too until I can come up with the Masterwork Cores to infuse the things I want to use....however by the time I get that many masterwork shards to infuse each of those pieces, I'm going to have eight more powerful gear than I had before that I won't be able to use which I'll have to wait for Cores again. It's exhausting....

Since infusing same items only costs 5k glimmer I suggest hoarding the best piece from every set. Weapons and armor alike. Then if your powerful drop is scatterhorn you can keep if you like it or feed it to the best rolled storage one. This will cut back on core waste.
