[i]TWAB, A.k.a. "Dodging the Infusion Problem" [/i] Let's take a look and analyze what was said: [u]Goals for adding Masterwork Cores to infusion[/u]: [quote]Make Infusing and Masterworking a meaningful choice.[/quote] We were all doing that before Forsaken came along. Adding Masterwork Cores into the infusion mix makes things more complicated for everybody. Especially those who didn't stock up on cores before Forsaken hit. [quote]Infusion and Masterwork should not be mutually exclusive.[/quote] Yet here we are. 😐 [b][u]Problems with the economy[/u][/b]: [quote]Masterwork Cores have a misleading name. When they were created, the definition of a pinnacle item put the emphasis almost entirely on Masterworking. We expanded that definition in Forsaken, but didn’t update the currency.[/quote] ...I'm sorry, [b][i]WHAT[/i][/b]? "Misleading name"? Sounds like a big excuse to me... [quote]There are not enough reliable sources to earn Masterwork Cores, which can make deciding what to spend them on too difficult. [/quote] Very true, but it shouldn't have been this difficult to begin with. [u]Plans for addressing those problems[/u]: [quote]We have been monitoring Core supplies and the numbers aren’t as high as we’d like. We are planning to create more reliable and plentiful Core sources.[/quote] That's one [i]way[/i] of solving it. Not the ideal way though... [quote]We are going to rename Masterwork Cores so their purpose is more obvious.[/quote] So wait...that's it? Change the name and increase the amount of sources? That's sounds like the lazy man's way out. Unless Masterwork Cores drop in good stacks every time I level up like in D1 with Motes of Light, this is gonna blow up even more bad than right now.
