We need MORE sources for cores, not fewer. Enough with this one step forward one step back dance.
Sure, whatever gunsmith bounties may be could be okay but these scrapper bounties are SUPER easy and solid sources or cores. In a moderate crucible session I can knock out 3-5 of these things and get myself a stack of cores for just playing the game normally.
That's all we want really - allow us to get cores while playing the game, without having to waste time on a core-specific activity.
There is absolutely no reason to remove these except to artificially limit the core economy even more than it already is.
Keep the scrapper bounties, add the gunsmith bounties, and now we're talking.
