Unstable cores prevent me from using different builds. I actively cannot play parts of the game that I find interesting. I love build crafting in Destiny and it's kept me playing for a long time. I now can't upgrade builds to use in content I want to play simply because I don't have enough infusion materials. Idk why this is part of the game at this point in its lifecycle. It's actively making me not able to play.

You can infuse like items for just glimmer instead of cores.
