You’re creating a “buy cores and do chores” game. People should be logging in to play and have fun. They shouldn’t need to login with a plan on how to maximize core earnings. This is a sticking point for so many people because this is not fun and this is not meaningful. People either hate this or tolerate it. Nobody masterworks a weapon and thinks, “that was fun and worth it.” You’ve created a really terrible system and you need to remove it. Learn from your mistakes and move on. People will accept a meaningful infusion system and smart material economy, but what you have is meaningless and half-baked. It’s a nuisance for the sake of being a nuisance. It adds nothing to the game and causes frustration. It is a failure.
