Now I know there are different opinions about the "enhancement cores" and some are going to say... [b]"They're easy to acquire"[/b] Maybe, but it's the boring grind that Bungie is using them as if they are (Motes of light) [b]"I have plenty of them"[/b] Not being rude to anyone but most can care less on how many anyone has. You can have 10.000 of them, especially with the recent, umm, hmm.... bug? and it won't make any difference at all. Why? because they are still an issue and that issue is, (there are only 2 things you can use them for) so you will end up staking having all this core and nothing to use them on. Can't say that about Motes of light. [b]"It's easy to infuse items"[/b] True, but that isn't the issue either. The issue is, 90% of the gear in this game (isn't appealing) to most gamers so they don't use the cores and that adds to that staking. [b]"You can purchase them from Spider or wherever"[/b] True, but if this is supposed to be a "meaningful grind" to collect them so you can make that "meaningful choice", why has the cost continue to go up to masterwork items? Correct me if I'm wrong, meaningful choices means a desired choice, but when most of the gear is not being used in this game, or can't be used because of the "collection" doesn't allow you to be able to "collect" the items you collected. How is that creating meaningful choices in this game at all? I only gave a couple of examples with what's wrong with using cores as a form of infusion. [spoiler]Cores are not a currency Cores are not a meaningful grind Cores are not anywhere near as useful as a material as Motes of light actually are, that it's a benefit to the game that actually (improved the game in D1.) Cores literally do not improve anything about D2 at all and that is a fact. Simple solution, go back to how the infusion was and add d1 loot system to d2. Problem solved.[/spoiler] The system how it was prior to the cores being used for infusion is how it should have stayed and that is using cores to only masterwork items. There was no "need" to change the infusion system at all.[b](Bungie/investment team should have been looking for what improves the gamers experience playing this game period.)[/b] Not create a grind that has become a pure waste of time.
