It’s fairly obvious that a majority of the community wants enhancement cores removed from infusion. It’s also quite clear that you guys don’t want to remove enhancement cores from infusion. So why not meet in the middle here. Currently we are able to infuse the same piece of gear into itself for only glimmer. Also, it’s possible to infuse a higher rarity piece of gear (ex. Exotic) into a lower rarity piece of gear (ex. Legendary) for a lower cost of just shards and glimmer. Then there is the normal infusion cost for same rarity gear into a different piece of gear. Which would be glimmer, shards, cores, and planetary mats. My suggestion is to add another “tier” of infusion. When infusing the same type of gear into another piece, it will cost glimmer, shards, and planetary mats. The description is poor, but I’ll give an example. You have a better devils you want to infuse up. You could infuse it up for just glimmer with another better devils. You could infuse it up for glimmer and shards with any kinetic exotic. You could infuse it up for glimmer, shards, and planetary mats with any other legendary kinetic hand cannon (my new suggested “tier”) You could infuse it up for glimmer, shards, cores, and planetary mats with any other legendary kinetic weapon. I would translate it to armor by making it need to be the same type of armor (mobile, restorative, heavy). With this system, it would allow players to feel like they aren’t as restricted with infusing up their favorite gear. It still makes you have to decide if you want to spend more to infuse up sooner, but it will give a few more chances to infuse up their favorite weapons and not feel handicapped without them. Now before anyone starts saying things, yes I know the best way to deal with infusion costs is to wait until your max level, then infusing up you favorite gear. No, I’m not whining/complaining that things are too hard. All I’m doing is trying to find a compromise between bungie and the people who hate the infusion costs. Personally, I don’t care about the cost of infusion. I’ve always been able to manage it.
