To be honest, Destiny 2 does not throw Cores at you. If that were the case, we would be earning them as rapidly as Motes of Light in D1, which was at every level up after Max. The thing is, the issue has never been about the amount of Cores players can get, despite some of the complaints on here. The actual issue is having the cost exist at all in Infusion. If players are able to wait until Max Power before they can infuse the gear they like, then there should be no point to have a cost that is designed to waste a resource like that. The only reason Bungie are refusing to take it out is because they are trying to slow players down so they won't get called out for having no content to play or loot to collect.
