Everyones complaining about cores meanwhile i have a better chance at those vs mod components :/

I have 430 masterwork cores I'm almost 675 I started the season with 390

So I'm in a lower tier of intelligence because lazy people cry about nothing.

Day 1 Destiny 1 player.....and 5000+ hours in the franchise. Read my lips: ENHANCEMENT CORES ARE A GAME-BREAKING PROBLEM. This is not a "hardcore" vs average vs casual problem. The decision to make them part of the infusion economy was a terrible game design decision....and I've been screaming that exactly what you're describing would happen since late September. But the Investment Team refuses to listen. They are a game breaking problem because: 1. They are not in enough supply to allow average players to level up comfortably with any sort of control over what gear they play. So you basically get loot from the game that you can't use...because the game denies you the resources to do so. 2. They muddle the economy. They aren't in enough supply to support Infusion...and because of that NO ONE uses them to actually Masterwork. So the active masterworking of gear is basically just no longer part of the game. If you aren't using them for infusion....you're basically stockpiling them for the next bump in the level cap. 3. It suppresses build variety. Since the cores are so difficult to obtain....it basically forces everyone into running the same small number of builds with the same small number of pinnacle weapons. Which basically renders about 90% of an already shallow loot table irrelevant. Including most of the game's exotics. 4. Related to point 1....it breaks the reward loop that is foundational to any successful loot-based RPG: Kill stuff....get loot....use that to kill more powerful enemies...get more powerful loot. It breaks the reward loop because it short-circuits your ability to use....and keep...the loot that you get. So the game stops beign a game where we chase loot. ..and it becomes a game where we just mindlessly grind for item level. Which no one finds fun. Which is why you dont' find ANYONE defending this system on its merits. NO ONE is saying that this game is more enjoyable with this system than it was without it. You either have people who hate it...like us. Or people who either claim its not a problem for them (which means that it failed its primary design purpose) .....or that (falsely) taking it out will damage the game. Will make the game "casual" or allow people to "level up too fast". TLDR: This is one of the worst game design decisions I've seen in 20 years of playing loot games.....and Bungie's stubborn insistence on defending it is one of a succession of catastrophic brand management decisions with this game.

Remember when infusion was just 1000 glimmer and 4 legendary shards? I do :-(

This reminds me of the whole "vault space debate". People wanted more vault space but tons of people tried everything in their power to stop that from happening. Even when it wouldn't hurt their gameplay in the slightest. [b][i][u]REMOVING CORES WILL MAKE THE GAME MORE FUN WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND[/u][/i][/b]

[quote]While I have a decent amount I've watch dozens of players stop playing this game due to the infusion system. To the people who play enough for this not to be an issue, if your blind enough to not realize how big of a problem this is then you are in a rather low tier of intelligence. Basically if you dont think this is a problem then you don't play with a group. The casual and players who want to get back into the game are the ones who don't like and get screwed over by this infusion system. I have nothing to say to anyone who has hundreds of cores like me and doesn't see the long term problem this system creates for the longevity of the game in its current state. How about a compromise and limit the max infusion cost to 1 enhancement chore....[/quote] “Compromise.” Lmao << ;o) Bungie loves that word and it’s implied meaning. Bungie say - F-ck your sensible post and your “compromise.”

And yet, there are still enough idiots on here who wont get it and keep on defending this broken system. I have over a hundred cores, but I'm too scared to use them, thanks to the stupid expensive masterwork steps that come on top of infusing. Also, it's not even worth doing, as the next season will increase the level cap once again....

If I play the game for 2 hours I come away with 6-10 cores. If youre not intelligent enough to see this then....[b]YOURE A HOARDER![/b] pls stahp!

Let me put it in simple terms for those who lack the will to understand me. 1. I am not saying use only the gear given to you. 2. Cores aren't even being looked at in the right view. 3. I am saying to use the mitch match gear as a booster not a long term item. 4. The understanding of why cores are used is misunderstood and everyone here complaining don't understand the big part of Destiny's MMO aspect. To break it down further if all you used cores for was masterworking guns and armors. You all would complain that they have little to no use. Once you do get your setup complete what use are they? In the end until you can come to the concept of how END game works in games in MMOs you will never be able to come to terms with what Destiny is. If you all would stop looking at it as just some FPS you would understand it's much more complicated than that. Furthermore if you assume that I ever meant to use whatever crap gear look that's given to you then you assumed that yourself and are to blame for your own outrage. Someone one asked why I act like an ass, it's because of the responses I get on a daily note when you assume I said something that isn't even in the text. The fact I even talk about how to get cores and how I have so many so imply that I would have gear I want to use not some trash heap badlanders or some useless better devils. The last statement I have for you is that you all like to assume you know what I am saying to look righteous in the looks of others which I pity. Now excuse me I got comp grind to do for my recluis.

Does infusing a weapon not enhance its power level?

plenty of players simply have no understanding of economy and how to use what they have. Its really not that hard to not upgrade things until you are max power and then only use the cores on things you will actually use. PVP power doesn't matter except for iron banner. Power matters marginally in pve for the new content and thats really it. everything else is lower than the current max by 50 or even 100 power levels. You can wear anything and still be doing the same damage as being max power. you don't need to upgrade everything as you get it.
