The cost for infusion and master working is simply too high. Period. Clearly this was done to artificially inflate player engagement time in hopes of increasing player retention. Terrible idea. But there’s a difference between a worthwhile grind for a meaningful rewarding end, and a mind numbing pointless grind due to the convolution of newly added material costs, which add NOTHING to the enjoyment or challenge of the game. Making it take way longer to get random items needed to “play the way we want” as you guys always say, is the exact opposite of what that means. How is this lost upon you? Arbitrarily creating MORE barriers, instead of removing those already in place, is so counterintuitive it almost looks like satire or malevolence. And we thought enhancement cores were bad!?
