[quote]Dude the idea that playing for cores and not gear or exotics is what driving everyone crazy. Cores should be rewards for complete missions and such not a major part of the game .[/quote] Edit : here's my idea of a solution I think there's 27 lost sectors and 22? Public events every time we do a lost sectors one core do public events one core turn it heroic two cores but up the difficult make it worth getting . Our rewards 49 plus cores times three to use as we please let us sell cores to banshee for mods or exchange for certain gear . Your reward bungie will be people are now playing aspects of the game they normally don't play and you have a customer base that's happy to chase cores and cry about how hard lost sectors are now and how difficult turning public events heroic are now and we will like it because now it's worth doing .

[quote]Dude the idea that playing for cores and not gear or exotics is what driving everyone crazy.[/quote] That...and the Investment Teams attitude that we're not smart enough to realize that this is what we're doing.

That's the reason. The game can't produce enough loot to support an end-game loot chase. So we're being forced (by cores) into an perpetual MID-GAME item level (power level) grind. Which isn't fun....isn't rewarding...and why its getting such passionate pushback from the player base.
