So does the team get off on ignoring feedback? I've heard of, "cutting your nose to spite your face", but this is ridiculous. You're like the most obstinate group of man children I've ever seen. For the love of this series just remove enhancement cores. At least you'd garner some good will back from the community despite the other massive and glaring flaws you refuse to adress.

Still dodging the what the Community wants. REMOVE ENHANCEMENT CORES FROM THE INFUSION PROCESS

[quote]Hey all, A few weeks back, we talked about Enhancement Cores coming from Gunsmith bounties in the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/47706]TWAB[/url]. I wanted to give a quick update on this, as it also involves Mod Components, which have been a topic of discussion as well. Please note- this is all still in development for Season of Opulence, and could change. [quote]• Originally announced in the TWAB, these bounties would cost Gunsmith materials. This has been changed to Glimmer. • There will be multiple daily bounties to complete, each rewarding one enhancement core and two mod components • There will be two weekly bounties to complete. These will each grant one enhancement core, one mod (Weapon or Armor), and other materials or reputation/rank points depending on the objective of the bounty. • Note: When I say rank points, think Valor or Infamy, **not** Glory.[/quote] The team is continuing to evaluate feedback over mod components, enhancement cores, and rewards all up. Thank you for the continued feedback. We'll give you updates as we have them.[/quote] There is absolutely no logical explanation for keeping infusion for cores, it's so sad it's stupid that bungie is being so stubborn about this.

Anything short of removing cores from infusion is unacceptable!

Not another penny from me until Cores are removed from infusion and the LL progression/infusion economy is fixed. Seriosly, this is the biggest reason my play time has dwindled to next to nothing. Won’t continue to be a customer with this system in place. You’re literally leaving money on the table at this rate.

Jesus christ guys...please just remove the cores. Nobody cares about "meaningful" choices anymore. People want to enjoy the game, and this infusion system has turned everything into a chore.

I can speak for the majority of the community when i say this, i will try my best to be utterly and completely clear: REMOVE ENHANCEMENT CORES FROM INFUSION, LEAVE THEM FOR MASTERWORK AS THEY ARE.

I used to defend em but now I say get rid of em. This community wants em gone. I might not have a problem getting em but others clearly do.

There's one simple and easy way to resolve the issue, revert back to the original Masterwork Core set up that was successful. However Bungles insistence on ignoring all the pleas of their player base, has seen its active player figures drop to approximately 4% of registered players, that's on a good day. Personally I held back from purchasing the Annual pass, to see if it was worth it and to be quite honest, I'm glad I didn't purchase it. It's been almost a month since I last played D2....thats the longest I've went without playing Destiny since I first purchased the original. And I can't see me playing it again unless Bungie actually listen to its players.

Look. I'm personally fine with enhancement cores (as long as there's a consistent way of earning them) but the vast majority of the community hates them and wants them removed (at least from infusion). It really doesn't paint a good picture of bungie when almost the entire community passionately want one thing and bungie is just ignoring them and being stubborn af. As much as a game should be a vision of the creative minds at bungie (meaning they should have a big say in what the game is like) the ultimate aim of a game is to 1) make a profit and 2) create an enjoyable experience for consumers. If something is neither profitable nor making an enjoyable experience for the consumer whats the point in having it. To put it more harshly, bungie quit the bullshit about "[creating a rewarding levelling experience]" and remove enhancement cores from infusion

Why not see who’s exploited this ‘bug’ & acquired masses of enhancement cores in the last few days And delete their cores, weapons & warn them that next time they cheat , then they WILL lose their entire vault/Guardian/account I’m sure you (Bungie) have the access & can see the numbers

Thank you for deleting my comment. But here it is again: [b]Bungie[/b]: [i]We hear you. BUT what we're not telling you is that we WILL NOT remove enhancement cores. But, since you're all craving it, we will give you more ways to grind for them. So, no, we will not remove enhancement cores. Just suck it up and play our game the way we intended you to play it. What are you waiting for? Get on the grind![/i]

Bungie: We hear you. BUT what we're not telling you is that we WILL NOT remove enhancement cores. But, since you're all craving it, we will give you more ways to grind for them. So, no, we will not remove enhancement cores. Just suck it up and play our game the way we intended you to play it. What are you waiting for? Get on the grind!

Remove enhancement cores from infusion. It serves zero purpose to have them as part of infusion.

5207 replies. So, when does this discussion take place? at 1 million or never? Edit: Updated, 5276 and counting. Edit: Update 2, 5574.

If still in game then they are still an issue - end of line:

Bungie is just having a laugh at everyone’s expense, if it’s true what I’ve been reading infusion cost more now than before update then they really taking the piss . they know it’s an issue with a lot of players but they don’t give a crap . But more importantly they know a lot of you will just continue to play the game the way they want you to play it . No point even posting here anymore Bungie just ignores and you all continue to play their game .

However you feel about it, roughly 12% of poll participants said they were fine with cores the way they were. That’s a little more than the number of people who came in this thread and said they have enough. So, instead of listening to most of us, Bungie listens to a fraction of us, decides cores are too easy to get and reduces the number of sources? So, one of the arguments against removing cores is that [b]all[/b] of us wanting them gone are [b]somehow[/b] not representative of everyone, somehow, we’re not a valid sample size. And yet, Bungie’s last implementation, which goes [b]far[/b] beyond the pale of what they Last said they’d do, is based on a fraction of the sample size. Pure, unadulterated hubris.
