Like I said in another reply (and in my original post), my concern is what would happen if cores were removed from infusion without any other changes to compensate for that. I don’t feel like the grind is too much — I usually hit max power level about halfway through a season, which feels right to me. I don’t think that the current implementation is the best solution, but I also don’t want to just yank something out without thinking through the effect that it would have on game progression. Ultimately, I think the larger issue is the overall economy of the game, and yeah I would like to see that addressed. But I’m not currently impeded by it, either. If I need something, I know what I need to do to get it, and I’m not locked out from getting it. That’s different from just not being able to acquire what you need to level your character.
