Let’s just say you could get over 200 cores in a month by doing some activities as some may have suggested. I don’t even want to bother to find out. What I could never understand is the whole core thing was based on a (bad) hunch with little to no merit in terms of providing any value to players and their experiences. So, for those who think they have “enough” cores, do you use/spend any cores on the gears you have acquired during that month of getting them or you simply put them away as you focus on hitting the 200+ quota then figuring out which gear you would spend cores on?
Just say I have acquired a set of new armors and one each primary, energy and heavy weapon that I want to infuse/masterwork. It’s common to use 40 cores on 4 pieces of armor and 15 on each weapon, that’s 85 cores. Two more sets for the other two characters, that’s 80 more cores either the same guns or 45 more cores for another set. So, after a whole month you will be using the same set of armors and two sets of guns. Why do you have/need a vault for 500 items then? how many more months will you be getting that 200+ cores/month to infuse/masterwork half of those mediocre items (from doing chores of course) in your vault before you can actually enjoy “real” fight?
“Our hope is that this increased access and control over Enhancement Core acquisition will help improve the balance of materials being earned vs. materials being used. As always, we’ll be continuously monitoring this item economy, along with your feedback to assess its effectiveness.”
Bungie was saying that they “hope” instead of providing any logic in how exactly it works. And they were not even sure so-called “balance” was even an issue or needed to be “improved” to put chokehold on it.
Bungie claims that they fully “understand” the importance of the balance of this material. On paper, maybe! At consumer level (players who enjoy playing instead of doing chores), the only balance that concerns them is that they always have enough material of any kinds from doing activities they enjoy.

I have 50+ masterworked weapons and a full 2 sets of titan gear and 1 each for warlock and hunter with a few random peices for each for certain load outs.. time, effort, planning, executing and having a goal make all this possible and very easily accomplished.

Did a head count that I have a total of 61 masterworked weapons. Guess how many weapons I like to get masterworked and couldn’t because of this BS balancing crap? 250+ in my vault.

Wow, 2 full sets! Is there a Triumph for that? I may have over-achieved on that. Given how much time I spent on playing, anything short of 12 sets (4 for each character) would be off “balance” in my book.
