Cause that's how you play a game based on loot and that attempts to focus on class builds? That's fine and dandy at say level 15.. but once you hit the "end game" they are functionality pointless and add zero value to the experience. IMO they take away from player freedom for the sake at gating progression. Ppl either have an over abundance which makes the whole "meaningful" argument moot. While others struggle with a pain point. If one person's experience is THAT different then its broken and a problem. Regardless of how you view it. Ppl have absolutely stopped playing because of cores. No one and literally no one would stop if they were removed. That only further proves how little to no value they bring.
