So first up, I'm going to put something out there... Infusion has little to do with "Power level". Right? We all on the same page? Good. So... What is the point of infusion? For me personally, infusion is a way of saying that weapon or armor item [b]A[/b] has a good set of perks (Enhanced xyz loader, Weapon xyz reserves, Weapon or armor perk xyz), but it's only 645... However I just got a weapon or armor item (item [b]B[/b]) that is 650 power, but it comes with undesirable perks. Seeing as I've achieved "Max Power" on that weapon or armor item the chase is essentially over, except for fact that I don't want to use the crap weapon or armor item... So I say "I value this weapon or armor item (645) over that one (650), so I will sacrifice one to make the existing item more viable... Because arbitrary numbers. I already own the good item, AND I have reached the maximum power... So this arbitrary number is no longer being chased... Why do I need to pay to reuse this number? That right there... "Why do I need to pay to [b][u]reuse[/u][/b] this number?" This is what I feel a lot of people have an issue with. Sure, I can farm bounties, dismantle stuff, buy mats to convert with Osiris' lackey, buy them from Spider... But why? Why would I [b][u]want[/u][/b] to do repetitive, stupid Spider bounties instead of actually playing the game? I'm not looking to play "Space Farming Simulator 2019". I see Enhancement Cores as being a means to "Enhance" an items base stats... Range, Stability etc. Kind of like the name implies. Even if cores went solely towards "Masterworking", it would still take time to get everything you wanted done unless you are no-lifing the game... And if not... Good for you. So my point and suggestion is this. Either remove cores from being required to reuse a number, but keep them to enhance an items base stats, or, come up with a way of earning them organically whilst simply playing the game. You love sinking your time into PvP? Great, at least you're playing the game, here have some cores. You only like PvE? Cool, here are some cores. I'm only suggesting that we should be able to earn them by playing the game organically as a show that the time we give Bungie is respected... Just like when weapon parts became an issue back in 2015... Because this is the exact same issue. Back then the investment team actually realised the issue and fixed it... So why not now? If you don't respect your customers Bungie, they won't respect you back.

One required for infusing would be a good comprise not the 2 or 3 we currently have

Stfu kid, this got old about a week ago... No one cares about this trash game anymore

Hi, I'm 9 years old and i hate cores. I don't play very often and suck hard at the game so i demand i can level and masterwork my gear and weapons with little to no effort. Please cater to the lazy casuals again Bungie. Make casuals great again. MCGA.

Why?I think they should stay.They really change the armor and make the process of its improvement interesting.

How the hell does terrorism compare with this?!

Kid stop making shit posts. Enhancement Cores... what does that mean to you? (ENHANCE) if you don't want to use the cores then you cant raise the Weapon/Armor power. FACTS, STFU and have a nice day

I like how most of the people commenting on this thread little kids trying to act cool.

Or just increase drop rates? Bungie already said they aren't removing them from the cost of infusion. How about asking for something they might actually do?

no way console i like cores.. so stfu

Hey....hey....just...whaaat? Dude I agree with Cores issue, but when you compare that to world terrorism....just, C’MOOON MAAAN.
