Remove them! However might I add that Bungie is very stern in their stance along with the community. Compromise is necessary. Keep the cores- byt have them drop from gameplay itself- not only from dismantling, bounties, and hitting max valor along with infamy. [u]1) Have them drop from Heroic Public Events. Drop 2 each event. It will encourage more to do the events at a heroic level. Drop 5 Shards per heroic event as well[/u] [u]2) After maybe 5 patrols drop 1. [/u] [u]3) After 3 strikes drop 3 cores. [/u] [u]4) If you get a 15 kill streak in crucible drop 1 core.[/u] [u]5) After 3 heroic adventures, drop 3 cores.[/u] [u]6) After 3 gambit or gambit prime matches, drop 2 cores.[/u] [u]7) After a successful t3 reckoning drop 3 cores. This one will encourage more to be in the matchmaking pool- killing another bird with one stone in the process. (matchmaking being terrible due to low counts of people)[/u] This will at least alliviate some of the stress of having a lack of cores and encourage a grind. All the while- people are playing the game. It hits every facet except raids and comp. [spoiler]I myself have no issue obtaining them, I urge others to read the convo me and Jcald are having as it has more points I forgot to mention here.@jcald thanks for a civil talk with me, have to shout you out.
