I just wanna see cores drop more often. It's not that I had an issue with scrapped bounties. It's just, why should I be bothered to go to butt f***in no where to farm a boss for one core? Or go and play crucible to kill 5 guardians for one core? It's not rewarding and I can't be bothered. How about instead, bungie consider this, actually letting me buy them from spider without the price doubling every purchase? Inflate the price to compensate, I don't care. Just stop making cores annoying to obtain. It's not even hard, it's just boring. If however you must have bounties for them. At least consider putting them behind things we already do. For example reward 3 cores for the raid challenges. I'm just not going into patrol, strikes, or crucible for them anymore I promise you. 😂 all of that content is currently your weakest content.

To be honest I have about 300 enhancement cores. I am very picky about what gear I level up and masterwork. I really didn't masterwork much until I hit 650. Now I am waiting until I get to 700. I really don't get all the fuss. Instead of infusing or master working every piece of gear, just be picky. Go the Tangled Shore every day and get two or three cores. Run the Vanguard bounties that provide cores. Save them up and be picky, then players would have more than enough.

Honestly enhancement cores aren't an issue at all for me and I don't understand how people are that low on stock? Seriously look at your inventory and check how many finest matterweave you have. Each one is a free masterwork core. Any curated weapons? 7 free cores. All scrapper bounties give 1. A lot of things you dismantle give 1 or 2. Every week Ikora gives one. Hawthorn is giving them out to clan members at a certain level (I think 3?) this season. Not to mention spider sells them too. There are so many sources I fail to see how anyone could be short on them. I don't really care for them being an infusion material, but it's such a non issue honestly.

If enhancement cores are going to be considered as an end-game level of currency then they must be removed from any action that is not itself an end-game action. I think that most players would agree that infusion is not an end-game action. Masterworking gear may be considered an end-game action, and I do not have an issue with enhancement cores being used for this action. I play the game a lot, and consider myself a hobbyist, somewhere in that space between hardcore and casual. Even though I have a reasonable stockpile of cores (around 170), I don’t use them to masterwork – the benefit is far too small for the cost. Masterworking becomes a waste of a precious resource. I have a stockpile of exotics in my vault that are still at 380 power. They might be fun to use in a strike, heroic story mission, or patrol, but infusing them is waste of a precious resource. Keeping my gear at my power level should not require the use of this rare resource. I also believe that the cost for fully-masterworking gear is a bit excessive. This becomes apparent if you consider the cost of fully-masterworking multiple sets of gear on 3 characters. Even just 3 sets of armor per character is a total of 45 armor pieces. The core requirement for fully-masterworking that much armor would be considerable, and with the new gambit prime sets, 3 sets (or more) is not unreasonable. After cores started being used for infusion, I have never masterworked armor, and have only fully-masterworked 2 or 3 weapons. The cost/benefit of fully-masterworking gear is just not there, and I end up hoarding my cores for beginning-of-season infusion of gear. All of this comes from someone who plays the game a lot, never took an extended break from the game, and has a stockpile of cores. For the players that took breaks and play the game a little less, cores become a far more serious problem. It cannot be fun for these players to be forced to use poorly-rolled gear, or weapon types that they don’t enjoy just to stay competitive with their power level. On the other hand, hardcore players will always have an over-abundance of every currency, and there will never be any meaningful barrier for these players. Keeping the gear you want at your power level is a daily decision, not an end-game decision. Please remove core from infusion and set a reasonable price on masterworking so that a typical player can choose which weapons and armor sets are important to them, so that they can masterwork those pieces of gear while not having to worry about keeping gear at their power level. Infusion should be accessible to everyone, and masterworking should be where the grind begins. Please return enhancement cores to their original purpose – masterworking.

I don't really see the issue. It's no different than leveling in any other RPG. Until you hit max (Light/Power), just wear whatever your highest is I'm saving tons of cores doing that. I'll look cool when I'm 700

Firstly, next season is a pathetic time frame for this. Secondly, still not fun to grind for cores. Still stops people from using what they want or actually masterworking things.

No. They LITERALLY put a hello kitty band aid on a bullet wound and hope things will be all hunky-dory. It just won't. This is EXACTLY what I was worried about that they would do.
