Think about it. Your gear would actually have a story finally. Yeah theres still grind, but you take the weapon on a journey, not just a bounty or something.
Id love to see more exotics start this way. You find it as a shitty white common(looking at you khostov), but its got something the others dont, potential.
For example. If someone asks you how you got nechrochasm (no one has yet, still waiting for hard mode) youll at minimum have a story about beating crota on hard.
I wanna see more of that.
Edit: this wouldnt be for all exotics. Just some. It would really add depth and immersion.
For example:
Plan C, no story really needed. So it would just be a rng exotic.
Conversely:
Gjallahorn, i would love to have some kind of quest tied to this weapon.

Eventually when we get 4 raids... what if there was a different weapon part that you could only get on hard mode on each raid (rng), only then could you assemble it and grind to level it up.. or it only gets xp from raids...
