My problem with you is that like so many others you have no sense of the larger picture. You don't fight a gasoline fire with water (vague promises and empty implications) because that only makes it spread, and you don't fight a gas fire without hitting the emergency shut off first. Bungle screaming "but but, we're listening!" is fighting a gas fire water. And dealing with the core issue is hitting the emergency shut off which will starve the fire of more fuel. Shutting off the emergency valve is the single easiest action you can take to achieve the highest positive results. Removing cores from infusion is the simplest action they can take to achieve the most positive result. It's a bandaid, a sign of good faith, a simple action that will get people back in the game. Once people are playing the game again they can start focusing on secondary and tertiary issues. But this is a matter that costs them NOTHING and worst case scenario they won't lose anymore players over this issue. Other issues maybe, in time, but this is an issue they're losing people over here, and now. You want all those things you dislike about crucible fixed? They aren't going to bother if their player counts drop too low. This is why Activation made them buy the game from them. Because Activision believes their "vision" for the game is near sighted and doomed to failure. And Bungie isn't proving them wrong. Activision wanted to be clear of this before the shit hit the fan. They knew this was coming. One can only assume even Bungie knew this was coming. Look. People do not want more sources. They want to not have to deal with it anymore period. And it's time Bungie did what any other business would do. Give their customers what they want even if they don't like it.
