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

Removing cores is almost certainly a massive coding headache and would cost a tremendous amount of dev time taking away from the creation of new content. More than likely removing cores requires touching likely hundreds if not thousands of elements in the games, recalculating drop tables and rebalancing progression. Maintaining a value for infusing gear that prioritizes either earning higher level gear of the same type (which is how I infuse almost all of my gear) or the careful expenditure of cores while providing more direct paths to acquisition is where the goal needs to be. The gunsmith bounties will help, and hopefully one or two more direct paths a la Valor/Glory/Infamy ranks/subranks should help achieve that better balance.

So let me get this straight.... Now the excuse is "coding is hard"? I taught my ass C++ to mod video games. If my middle aged ass can learn it by trial and error, a millenial with a bachelors can do it in a 1\4 of the time.

You have never coded. Give me 1 minute. Comment out from screen. Done.

There’s no coding headache, Sir/ma’am.

I hear ya. It definitely could be. But I know if I make a mess I have to clean it up, even if it is hard. I really do feel the same way. NOBODY was asking for that pre forsaken.
