This is a good start to developing a better system but I think that a weekly bounty should reward 2 cores and a mod. I really don’t think that many players care about mats and rep (I could be wrong). The basic complaint still remains that cores should not be part of the infusion process. Wouldn’t it work perfectly fine to require, say 10 shards to infuse a weapon or gear? Keep the cores as part of the masterwork process.
