No matter what you say, even if you personally like it, the current state of the game is in trouble numbers wise. This isn't good for our future. We all strategically use cores. We already know not to pour our cores into everything. The problem persists even after we reach max light. Want to play with the Suros regime? May be fun but not worth the cores. Get a cool lower level drop you want to play with? May not be worth the cores. Stop telling us how to obtain cores. We all know the straight way and the Vance work around. All take time away from playing the game in a fun way. I don't think the fan base would have a problem with Spider bounties if you could earn the core through fun activities (strikes, crucible, planetary activities). The infusion mechanism isn't bad. The process is. It has folks like me walking away from the game or reducing play to one character because even when I am max light I don't feel like grinding away to make the new drops max light. That is the problem people! Things don't drop at my light. Most of my drops will be lower. But now I need to take that stupid max light edge transit to infuse the 20 point lower item I want to play with. And for fVcks sake stop lying with statements like "I earned 100 in just two days using only my left thumb, while sleeping." We all know you are exaggerating.
