Make your case for KEEPING enhancement cores as part of INFUSION.

Not talking about master working. I personally believe that is where cores should be used, they should be a "grind" and while there should be a steady way to get them, they should be scarce. So we aren't going to discuss that here. I am curious as to why some people think they make sense as part of the general infusion process. Because IMO, based on Bungie's stated intentions, they simply do not work as intended within the system. The reason being, infusion, in and of itself is not "impactful", this mechanism has always been secondary to farming for drops. Always, regardless of the state of the game. Hunting for that specific roll, or piece of a collection has historically had the most impact on my, and a lot of other people's play time. Do you log in with the hopes of farming up X amount of materials, or do you log in looking to get something new? Do you get excited about your 100th pair of Scatterhorn gauntlets, or do you think, "man, I loved pimpin' out my gear to my own tastes", setting up looks and loadouts for each subclass. The people who say cores aren't the issue, don't realize that EVERYONE used to be able to do this, at will, based on what they wanted to use, when they wanted to use it. It was a CHOICE, not a chore. So I ask again, why do you think this aspect of the game, that honestly has nothing to do with progression, needs to be a chore? Cheers!

    Cores aren't even the issue. They are just a symptom. The real issue is that Bungie can not figure out how to properly reward time investment in this game. Starting over every season (essentially) wouldn't be such an issue if the unbearable grind set up by the randomness of meaningful rewards and throttled progression weren't there. Do you know why everyone hated the Ikelos nerf? It's not because we can't understand the gun was OP and would eventually need some kind of nerf to make way for other things. It's because it took some people hundreds of runs over multiple months to get the weapon (and that isn't including the many people who had to [b]wait[/b] until maxing in Forsaken to even attempt EP so their glory was even shorter lived). When you drag your player base through the mud to get a rewards (or make progression), they are going to expect it to last forever. That's why we can't start over each season and why people hang on to the weapons it took them forever to get. That's why everyone gets burned out doing the same exact milestones we've done for 6 months now. Until they fix progression, the game will always have these kinds of issues popping up.
