Interesting (expensive) new Masterwork mechanics (Destiny)

I got a Trackless Waste (kinetic submachine gun) doing the Flashpoint last night.

There were 10 Masterwork levels - each had different text about what was being improved (though the bars didn't move like I thought they might, based on the text). They started cheap - the first level was 100 Glimmer... but by the time I got the thing to max (10 levels of Masterwork), I'd spent 25 Masterwork Cores, along with a bunch of shards (wasn't keeping track of shards).

I'm sort of hoping this is bugged, and that I got overcharged, because that's a LOT of cores for a single weapon. :(

Yeah, I'm almost positive that's the intention. Masterwork cores are supposed to come from some additional sources once Forsaken hits, so you should be getting them more often than you're used to, but they are also going to cost a lot more materials to upgrade your stuff.
