[b]There are only two guns which take some effort and skill to obtain, on top of very good luck:-[/b]
[b]Thorn[/b] and [b]Invective[/b]
[b]All other guns can be earned with no skill and no effort.[/b]
In fact, apart from the other exotic bounties (which are easy and require no skill whatsoever), all other weapons can be and often are earned by people who are AFK in Crucible or Strike playlists, and people who get the lowest score in Crucible, etc! (I do not include guns which are exclusively raid loot in this post.)
[b]Therefore, in the coming exotic weapon buff, would Bungie please buff Thorn and Invective to the special status they both deserve in the game.[/b]
The buff on each of these two weapons should arguably be commensurate with the slightly different difficulty levels in obtaining them. At present you can get better results with some blue trash weapons than you can with these so-called exotics which are harder to earn than all the other guns! That is patently absurd. Destiny pre-raid should be a game that rewards time and effort, not just grinding or pure luck.
Unfortunately, the last Hotfix did the precise opposite, because [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/73125415/0/0/1]Bungie has actually nerfed Invective[/url]! The nerf of the weapon type overall was needed, but Invective was underpowed before that and the result of the patch was to substantially exacerbate the problem. Other stats should have been buffed to reduce the impact of the overall weapon type nerf which translates directly into fewer kills and more deaths for users of Invective.

To be clear. Did you just ask Bungie to buff a shotgun? Follow up question, can I buy some weed from you?
