For real. 25 or 50 cores as a reward? Somebody missed the mark. Seems like it should be 10-100 times more depending on level. So when I break down a weapon or armor near level and get like 400-600, a 50 core reward in the playlist reward track is lame.
Also, if legacy activities, Hawthorne engrams, Xur engrams, etc.., would consistently drop greater than 200 (10 is a joke. lol), this would go a long way towards building up cores and make activities outside of the portal still relevant. Even if I have to farm some older weapons to level up some older ones from my vault cheap with glimmer, would be better than spending thousands of cores.
How about exchanging glimmer for unstable cores? I’m usually swimming in glimmer.
Yeah it's really annoying, all these 200 drops from vendor rewards and exotic engrams could at least be at current light level to boost your cores, I can't understand why bungie are so stingy.
