So, I just got my first 200+ drop (201+ actually.) Initially I was excited, but then I quickly realized that I don't have any of said cores needed to Infuse my weapons. Then the cascade if consequences hit me.
First, I can't actually do anything with my new weapons besides delete them, or delete something out of my vault to keep the new weapon, and my postmaster will overflow very quickly. But, I have no cores!
Second, oh, ok the cores are in my season pass, ok. Wait what?! The cores are in my season pass!? So I am paying for the cores that I need to Infuse the weapons? I'm paying to have to Infuse weapons?
Didn't I already pay for this in my digital deluxe edition? I better watch a video...
Third; wait, what, you mean it could take hundreds of cores to infuse a single piece of armor. I have zero, zip, zilch, none. How many are there in the season pass? Doesn't seem like enough, but I paid for some, there's some in the paid pass...
The bottom line. This feels like a huge change in game monetization that is outside the longstanding gameplay loop.
Fair warning; paying to level weapons, is pay to win, and if this is the direction that Bungie is taking; I quit.
Seriously, tell me I'm wrong or I'm done.
Sincerely, lover of the game,
Björn
P.s. Bungie, in my opinion, you should fire whoever came up with this idea. Awful.

Why are people having so much trouble with unstable cores? I have over 120k of them currently. And just keep getting more. I get them faster than I can use them.
