My D1 characters look absolutely badass! My D2 characters look absolutely homeless!

Agreed, that stupid decision took the fun out of experimenting with gear and mods. If they at Bungie think that making this game a grind feast is going to work in their favor, then they are deeply mistaken.

The majority of my clan stopped playing Destiny 2 Forsaken when Black ops hit primarily because everyone ran out of Masterwork cores around that time and they didn't want to play the game anymore if they couldn't infuse their favorite weapons while moving up light. I can't say I don't disagree with them. Most of them got so fed up with it that they are completely gone for good.

They need to -blam!-ing remove the stupid shit now...it’s ridiculous I can’t infuse higher gear into the gear I use and like...

The best thing they can do besides remove them is give them as rewards (between 1 & 3) for every completion. They should be as plentiful as glimmer,shards, planetary materials and weapon parts. We need all for infusion so why not? Or an enhancement core ghost to speed up the process?

Can’t believe they haven’t fixed this yet.

I mean, infusion might as well not be a thing anymore due to the high cost. Let's base the coming math around using just the weekly reward gear as infusion and that there's one Exotic weapon and armor each. So on one character, there's about 5 different weekly rewards from all of the different activities. With about 8000 Glimmer, 2 to 4 cores (we'll go 2 for this), 10 Legendary shards, and 25 planetary materials, that adds up to a potential 40,000 Glimmer, 10 cores at the least, 50 Legendary shards, and 125 materials for just a single character (which might not even be the same material, making it more grindy requiring a decent chunk of time just traveling to the different planets), and this is just the Legendary weapon sided math. And if you end up being short, you are forced to use that weapon instead of the one thatyou enjoy having, which is the entire reason that infusion was introduced. As an easy way to keep the weapon you like using at high power instead of the endless grinding just to get that weapon with the right rolls and the right sight (back when sights were actually pleasing to look at and had a front sight making it more like-able). With the new higher costs and the not-as-lacking-as-before-granted enhancement cores, the entire point of infusion is out the window because you will not be able to consistently use your favorite weapon or Exotic.

Bump. We could do without the cores to infuse. It’s just another way to stretch out the grind.

You're lazy if you didnt earn a 100 or more cores during the Dawning event. You guys whine and cry about enhancement cores because you cant be bothered to use the numerous ways to earn them...pathetic.

Snowflakes are falling ;)

I've yet to masterwork any armor set because of the crap economy. Should've just kept them for masterwork.
