I have no idea why this is still a thing other than to waste players time.
It's not even like Exotics get a bigger stat boost from masterworked or even additional effects or energy. Lower the cost or make it worth the cost please.

Both for your point and against it. For: newer players will definitely have a harder time getting golf balls needed to max out exotic armor especially with legendary shards being removed. Against: For those able to complete higher level night falls in a moderate amount of time, golf balls will be easy to get especially if you breakdown only maxed out armor.
