I miss the time when exotics were actually a rare myth and not a general loot drop...
I have 8/10 engrams in my inventory. Almost all of them exotics. All of them sitting there because I couldn't care less about decoding them, because they are such generic loot by now that all the mystery and exoticness of them is gone.
Back in Destiny 1 seeing someone with an exotic was a super special thing for the most time. In Destiny 2 it just feels like Tuesday.
I really wish we would have a bit more rare loot drops when it comes to exotics (and maybe lower drops for legendaries too, with options of focusing). Because at this point they are dropping like candy from a halloween bag with a leak.
Edit: Just as a reminder, Legendary items used to be quite rare in Destiny 1. Exotics even more rare than that. But in Destiny 2 Legendaries are the "green stuff" now, blue (rare) items are common stuff now and exotics are on the level of D1 legendary engram drop rates. We are massively inflated with loot and most people don't even realize.
They don't realize how de-valuated the loot in Destiny 2 has become. We get an exotic every season pass on track level 1, several exotic engrams later in it. We also can farm for them solo in legendary lost sectors, have them drop with a chance from every enemy and nightfall. And now we can also just do weeklies for them.
Back then in D1, we could get exotics only from post match rewards in strikes, nightfalls and pvp, from boss and chest drops in raids and flawless trials. And at easiest from the "Three of coins" consumable that you had to buy from Xûr, the exotic vendor.
The loot in World of Warcraft and ESO feels more achieving and valuable at this point than Destiny 2 loot does. And that is kinda sad, considering Destiny 2 is meant to be a "loot shooter with a ton of loot that feels valuable", not a "loot shooter with a ton of stuff you have to dismantle because you will never use it".
[b]Edit: Now, don't get me wrong. More loot is of course better than D1 vanilla. But I think loot chances like we had back in D1 TTK would make loot drops much more interesting again and prevent this "legendary crap roll = insta shard" fatigue.[/b]
With how detrimental exotics are to almost any "serious" build these days - I don't want exotics to go back to being a "bragging right" for the players that need something else to flaunt over other players to feel good about themselves.
