EVERYTHING you infuse is "meaningful". Otherwise you wouldn't be infusing something into it. That is so disingenuous a reasoning that it makes me want to scream. Just call it what it is. A way to slow progression. You know it. I know it. You're embarrassed that people used to hit max light in a few days and you don't want it to happen again. Problem is everyone else is punished for that. Meanwhile the power levelers are still power leveling and now are also earning all the Pinnacle Weapons at an embarrassingly fast rate to boot. Great post, OP. Great points made. Pity they will fall on deaf ears. (edited to fix a typo)

First well though out cores post. Congratulations, your the second in line for my upvote.

I kinda like the hard grind tho if I was 700 already I would just be bored until the next week comes where they bring ib I understand your point which yeah bungie should at least give 1 enchantment core for weekly rewards I think this is a good solution to the problem at hand [spoiler]then everyone can get a few cores each Tuesday[/spoiler]

Interesting point. From that perspective shards and all the associated items acquired with them seem to be a an issue, its irrelevant removing cores if you cant infuse the items anyway because you dont have the other mats. I was under the impression that was a grindy game for grinding, it always had in game currencies and material mats, the whole point of it was grinding out those activities to obtain them over and above passing the story lines. Are you going to want everything removed in order to respect user time and allow a completely open progression. Completely open progression as per D2 vanilla nearly killed the game. Its a point of view, not a point of view I can agree with, it fundamentally changes the game to a short term non grindy game that has zero challenge. You can already get to 700 without infusing anything and avoiding pretty much all end game activities. The system already allows for that through dreaming city and milestones and the system already allows you to put any item in the vault, never touch it but still have it count to your over all light level. The story and a drifter bounty will get you to 640 with 0 effort, what more do you need after that ?

Yep keep them for masterwork but for infusing they need to go #Remove enhancement cores

There real trick to light level grind is to not infuse at all lol

A much better post than like half of the people reeeeing about cores, because this actually looks like legit constructive feedback and not an emotional rant.

#RemoveCores

Noticing my tags being removed, hmmm
