Right now, I refuse to infuse anything. I don’t want to waste my precious cores! By refusing to infuse, I’m also hoarding materials just Incase I want to infuse someday: gunsmith parts, planetary materials, glimmer, legendary shards. I have a large stock of each material because I save everything just Incase I want to infuse! Now let’s imagine enhancement cores are gone from infusion. I now spend 25 materials every time I get a new item. Quickly, my stash runs out. I now go to spider every day and purchase materials; glimmer and legendary shards now have a role in the economy. Now, I also use enhancement cores to enhance my permanent build with masterworks. I now fully upgrade my armor and weapons and spend masterwork cores as soon as I earn them. Now, cores feel like they are an exciting part of upgrading my character and not a boring grind. Now, I have an impactful experience where I have to work for 12 different resources as part of progression instead of just hoarding materials and playing unfun gear I don’t like.
