Unstable core economy kinda sucks

I have seen a few people mention this already but I want to bring it up again for the economy team. We need more sources for unstable cores or the costs need to be brought down. I am at LL 384 and it costs ~6500 cores to bring up an item from LL200. This should be drastically reduced. Especially since this whole expansion is trying to get players to try new stuff. Well when it costs many hours worth of time to infuse something no one wants to change what they are using and this just keeps players locked to 1 character and a few weapons. If you are playing a single character with 1 single build and like 6 weapons you wont notice how bad it is. Fixes for this could be make engrams from world drops or Hawthorne drop at 300, or whatever the rounded down hundredth the player is in, instead of 200 so dismantling them gives a few cores each. Give us a source to buy cores. Or just drastically reduce the cost of infusing. Hopefully this can be fixed soon and not in 6 months because players will be very tired of using the same few weapons and armor pieces by then.

  • I don't understand how people are having unstable cores problems. I've infused my gear every time I've gotten an upgrade since launch infused multiple builds and have run out of regular cores more often, and I'm currently sitting on an unstable index fund of over 150k. This post isn't the only place I've heard about this problem. like, are you guys just keeping everything that drops and not deconstructing trash? I don't get it. My stockpile only grows.

  • What I don't understand is why did Bungie get rid of upgrade modules that were used to infuse our gear only to bring in these unstable cores just to have them do the same thing, Seems like a really stupid decision to me.

    • Here before someone says just don't play with any builds for the rest of the games lifespan. Picking a single build and single character and permanently sticking to it is basically the only way to avoid the bad economy.
