I think if the infusion system went back to d1 before taken king then enhancement cores would be true to their name. And only the highest gear dropped from nightfalls ironbanner raids and crucible and gambit level ups. But you would still have to level the weapon by playing with it so if the player wanted to increase the level with their cores, then it would actually be IMPACTFUL.

Nothing about infusion will ever be impactful. At least not in the positive way Bungie seems to think. The only impact the process will ever have is the negative one currently existing, where people would rather not play than deal with a broken system. The balance between infusion and masterworking was exactly right in year one. Masterworking is impactful and should be expanded upon (re-rolling or enhancing perks in masterwork gear) and infusion should go back to shards and planetary material only.

That’s last part was a meme but the part about reverting back to d1 leveling wasn’t
