Exotic weapons have a wide range from being very bad (bad juju) to very good (vex mythocaust). Bungie previously talked about improving the balance between auto rifles, pulse rifles, and hand cannons, but I believe there needs to be a serious buff in some of the exotic weapons. For example, the bad juju and thorn are as good as some of the rare primary weapons that you can obtain. An exotic item should never be equally as good as a rare. I am talking about PvE of course, but still, even in crucible the bad juju is absolutely horrible. Please get this fixed because exotic weapons are the rarest weapons and are supposed to be the best, but they haven't been meeting their standards.

Bungie already addressed their intentions to do so in a developer diary about three weeks ago.
