Bungie hates the players lol. Its the only reason i can think of for the changes to the masterwork system. D2 launch was horrible. They had to backtrack and undue all of the predatory changes. So salty nobody liked their "vision" of the game. Got strong armed into fixing the game and to spite the player in the end they decided to make enhancement cores their version of revenge. Its the only thing that makes sense. It provides no ingame fun or value. It sole purpose is to show the player that this is our game(bungie). And you can force us to make some changes but in the end there will be some punishment.
