So what you’re saying is you need to actually play the game for a while to get to the endgame levels of not worrying about materials used to upgrade your gear? How is that not how it should be? It’s suppose to be a struggle when you’re a new guardian. You’re suppose to learn your ways by using different gear and using every resource available to build your arsenal. Last week I had zero cores, now I have around 40-50. They are not hard to find. You do not need to infuse anything until you absolutely have to, or until you get to max level and want to slowly bring everything else up. You only need to be a high level for one activity, and Iron Banner. For everything else use exotics from collections to infuse lower level items to within 15-20 of your max. Which is plenty high enough to complete just about every activity.
