It's easy to bypass this until your drops are 650, yea everyone wants to run their preferred armour sets all the time, same with weapons. But running with what drops until you get 650 is easy enough, infusing them occasionally just to keep up. But you'll probably get much better rolls on newer drops anyway, then once you are 650, dismantle or infuse the crap gear and if you're fortunate, you'll get a few more enhancement cores which you can then use to masterwork. Only saying this because we all know Bungie can take forever to address this kind of issue and by the time it's addressed, it's too late... cough*thorn D1 pvp meta*cough
