What is the issue with Enhancement Cores?
I am legitimately confused about how this is a problem. The enhancement cores are not that big of a problem. You are playing the game wrong if you are having trouble with it. When trading with planetary vendors make sure to have a ghost with a scanner for that planet equipped. Same with activities, strikes, reckoning, raids, etc for higher chances of curated roles. Also fireteam medallions (bright paragon) may help with this?
Sources for cores:
1. Trade planetary materials to world vendors and get masterwork items around 10-20% of the time which reward 1-3 cores when dismantled.
2. Hawthorn gives 7 each week once your clan reaches a specific level.
3. Scrapper bounties are pretty frequent and have easy tasks to accomplish.
4. Spider sells them. If you get 2 each day that’s only 30 legendary shards, but even 1 (10 shards) a day is an extra seven cores each week.
5. Spider bottom row bounties. 3 lost sector bosses are easy and sometimes line up with scrapper bounties. The three open world are more trying deepening on which ones are up, but still doable.
6. Forges, especially Bergusia have a chance to drop a master work when completing, which dismantle to 7 cores.
7. Reckoning (Tier 3 at least) seems to have a pretty high chance of rewarding a master work weapon. Again those dismantle to 7 cores.
8. They listened and made pinnacle weapons triumph based, so once you complete it you can collect them on all characters. If you are running short of cores dismantle all but 1 for an extra 14 cores (7 each). Then just move the weapon around until you have more cores and you can buy them back from collections.
9. Finest Matterweave drop from dismantling gear. Pretty much a freebie, with no specific task required.
10. Sometimes items gained by trading in tokens to Zavala or Shaxx or materials to Banshee result in 1-3 cores. This seems to be a little more rare though.
11. Run raids to have higher chances of getting curated weapons which dismantle to 7 cores.
People really?!? I just don’t feel like they are as short supply as people are making it out to be. When they first implemented this system, they definitely were, but so many sources have been added that if you need them you can go out and get some. Maybe people need to be more strategic about leveling gear? I’m not sure. I don’t understand why people have a problem earning rate materials to make their gear better (whether increasing power level or masterworking). This is a feature of almost every Looter/Shooter game I have ever played. I just don’t get the push for a constant handout.

5 RepliesThe issue is that it's just one more unnecessary step in infusion, and stops you from using them for their original purpose, masterworking. Instead of being able to infuse your gear as soon as you get a higher level drop, your best bet is to simply let the gear collect in your inventory, and only infuse when absolutely necessary. Bungie's line was that it's to make the choice of gear "meaningful," but if you already have set loadouts, all it's doing is making you wait an arbitrary amount of time to increase their light. It's not incredibly important because light level increases mostly only matter for things like Reckoning at the moment, but it's still annoying. Finally, there's no really consistent manner to obtain cores; you've listed the ways you get them, but Spider is prohibitively expensive after the 2nd core, scapper bounties are random and require you to go out of your way for a single core, his other bounties require similar effort, Hawkthorne requires you to be in a clan (and it be productive), etc., etc. Contrast this with something like shards, which literally just requires you to play the game; I'm actually lower on shards than cores (because I've been infusing, masterworking and buying mods), but I know that I can just jump in random activities and easily fix that in a day or two. The other thing to consider is that your experience with the game is not typical, and despite having played much less than you (I think), neither is mine. The people that will REALLY suffer here are the ones who are newer to the game, for whom materials are still precious, and who may not be able to do some of the activities, or do them as frequently as would help. Reckoning of any tier is going to be out of the quest, and T2 and 3 would certainly not be something they could work with. But the real proof, as I've mentioned in other threads, is that people are rushing to exploits to "fix" the economy. The whole silly Brother Vance thing (every time Spider sells...whatever it is Vance wants there's a post here and on Reddit), the Pinnacle weapon exploit, etc. People are turning to these to get rid of the core "issue," so you might as well just put cores back exclusively in masterworking, as they initially were.
