iirc they said its an engine issue with perks on it - I believe it was due to the engine constantly doing exotic perk checks and having multiple causes issues. Theres also the engine hit for them having freedom to go over the top with designing exotics - he did go a bit over the top on limits though, possibly 2+0 may work with an engine rework in regards to memory but it doesn't seem like its worth it for the sake of a game thats in 7 years in now and getting less focus than other projects [quote]To piggyback off of Cozmo and provide boring technical context, we build a lot of assumptions into having one exotic weapon/armor per-player. This lets us spend more of our visual dollars on making them feel special, from both a memory and rendering performance standpoint. That way exotics can both behave and look exotic. As you can imagine, going from 24* concurrent exotic items on screen to 84* is a substantial increase in a high watermark of resources that we've relied on and designed with in mind for many years, far beyond a checkbox to change. If we wanted to maintain this into social areas like the tower it inflates our limit from 52 to 182 exotic items on screen. Is it hot in here? Anyone else having a hard time breathing? Just me? It does sound fun, though! *. Assuming 1 weapon and 1 armor exotic limit goes to 3 weapons and 4 armor, in a 12 person PVP game mode Definitely fluctuates as you alluded to, especially given the current limits in place - the combinatorial explosion of resource cost isn't as large, thus providing more wiggle room. I don't off hand remember the precise art policy on min/max limits, though.[/quote] https://old.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/91rqrd/prestige_loadout_requirement_the_last_week_before/e31ikhs/

cuz spoiler, with 2.2 exotics they will have to make the game a lot harder , is called balance
