I'll be honest? The answer given offers nothing to me. All I thought when I read that response was, "They're basically telling us to shove it", which I assume was not the intent at all. The reality of the situation is that there really is NO meaningful choice when it comes to Infusion, no matter how much you try to explain away or justify it. We're all trying to play the ever-increasingly harder content, but having to stop having fun just to do some mindless busywork just to be able to get in the door to do something like Reckoning is frustrating. On top of that, the existence of Core costs in non-matching gear is just a waste of the resource. We can already Infuse with matching gear and Exotics without Cores, so why charge us Cores at all for not matching our Scatterhorn armor with our higher Power Vigil of Heroes armor? They could be used for other things, like perk rerolls and the dozens or hundreds of other ideas given by players. If anything, the question has changed now. It's no longer, "Will you remove Enhancement Cores from Infusion?", it's become [b]"Why are you all so adamant over such a wasteful and inefficient cost when there have been a plethora of ideas provided that can act as the meaningful choices that you so desire?"[/b] There is no reason the dev team can give for the cost to be there, there is no reason they can give for blatantly disregarding player feedback and there is no reason why the dev team THEMSELVES cannot come onto their own forum to actually talk to us about this. This entire game is designed to waste our time and effort but it would be freaking sweet to have you guys cut us some slack and make this small change to alleviate some of that frustration, at the very least. You will be doing yourselves a huge favour and you will bring back a good portion of the playerbase. We can figure out what to use Cores for later. You guys have the time and, by doing this, you will inspire some patience in us.
