Exotic Item Limit: Dumbest Shit Ever

This has to be the dumbest piece of shit limitation bungie has put in this game (and that's saying something). Bungie doesn't have ANY experience with this type of game and it clearly shows. Let the players decide what they want to wear. Bungie want to be the hand of God controlling what players do.they are trying to make themselves the Apple of SWSs. This never works out in the long run. Make drop rates of exotics infinitesimal if need be but don't limit what someone can and cannot wear. So my costume won't match because bungie says so? I gotta be mismatched (especially annoying for OCD infused grinders like me) to be the best I can be although I've worked hard to earn a full exotic set? If that's the case, who gives a -blam!- about bungie's want for a player to have a "story" about the pieces they've earned? If trading was involved it would be stupid but a bit more understandable and justifiable, but I can't show off my gains for what reason? All this "fair play" crap in games these days has to be done away with. Work hard, win big, PWN them all. It's becoming like those shitty kids sports where no one keeps score and everyone's a winner. Edit: Since people seem to be hung up on the me mentioning exotic sets, let me state that even if you have an exotic piece for each armor and weapon slot, my point still stands because limits are still imposed. I've stated in comments that full exotic sets should be required before its ability can be activated. > to clarify: ONE ability per set. Whole set required to activate ability. Simple as. Individual exotic pieces instead of full sets is lazy game design, as someone stated in comments. There's more to matching sets than colours. A shader won't help if your helmet is a flaming skull and your chest plate is based on butterflies.

  • It's a balance issue. Would you rather exotics were just slightly better than legendaries and then wear a full set? Or choose one exotic and have it head and shoulders crazy better than the legendaries? I, for one, like the 2nd option and the fact they are differentiating themselves, albeit in a small way, from other games where you equip items. Also, if you had a helmet that gave you one Super buff, and a set of gloves that gave you a different Super buff, you could have all 3 Super buffs without having to pick one. Bungie wants your decisions to matter. To make your guardian unique. If you have all the abilities at your disposal, you aren't different. Everyone will go for that one set up and the variety between guardians will be less. This one exotic rule will lead to more unique setups and guardian equipment choices. It's easy to call it an idiotic idea when you haven't put it to actual use, but maybe wait to see it in action before judging it so harshly? Maybe? You know they've been playing this game for years and we have barely touched it via the beta, right?
