At least in PvE. Seriously! think about it for a second. When they were billed post beta as game changing elitist weapons of mass destruction it sort of made sense. The unfortunate reality is that many of the exotics don’t live up to these expectations. Add to this that many of the raid primary weapons have better buff’s such as elemental damage making them more useful in Nightfall raids than any exotic. The fact that in any PvE situation you come across you have time to squat behind a rock or in a corner and change your load out makes me wonder why we have this imposed rule at all in PvE. There is no crucial game changing decision which weapon to go into battle with as was billed post beta. Many guardians who form the Destiny community and have been buying from Xur week on week since launch, like myself, will have the majority of exotic weapons and be at no disadvantage except perhaps in the crucible, while I wouldn’t personally mind I can see an argument against this motion in PvP.
