Who is telling you how to play? No one. Atm you get 7 per character from Hawthorne per week for doing really nothing but playing so that's 21 right there, crucible is 10 and with how many double/triple valor xp weekend there are you can get quite the stock with little effort, duplicate pinnacle weapons are a great source for cores you can get 98 just from that, curated weapons are +7 when you delete them, the game throws gear at you and you can get cores from deleting them, deleting gear gives you scrapper bounties which turns into cores, deleting gear turned into matter weaves that turn into cores, spider bounties grant cores, you can buy cores.. I could go on and on.... and they are adding even more ways.. so yes the game showers you in cores. I suggested one easy method that takes relatively 0 effort to get cores and you freak out.... you are the problem with this game. If cores really bother someone they will join a clan for those easy cores seeing you can get those 21 cores solo. I lack common sense? You are sitting here spouting off about solo players blah blah blah because you think you have to play with someone since that's how clan XP used to work.... they kinda changed that chief try to keep up with your superior "common sense". 😉 Blind follower? You are sitting here spouting off about solo players not even knowing how the system works anymore 😂🤣 this guy.. what a joke. 600k players is pretty good for a content drought 😊 we've been in forsaken for how many months now? I haven't seen any of this new content you speak of besides a few minor tac ons brought to the end game by the annual pass... which is all it was ever advertised as... not an expansion nor massive content update. I don't have the numbers to carry the franchise to a future title? I'd hope I don't 🤔 i'm not a bungie employee or a dev sooooo not sure what you are talking about.... I don't think you even know what you are talking about.
