Ok so everyone feels this way, what's the point of a weapon being "exotic" if they're sold every other weekend by this tool of the nine? The very meaning of exotic is, and I quote "of a kind not used for ordinary purposes or not ordinarily encountered." NOT ORDINARILY ENCOUNTERED!!! They aren't "exotic if everyone encounters them! So here is my suggestion. With every public event, have a new exotic weapon and armor piece. There is a limited amount of time to earn enough reputation with that specific event, to earn yourself a true exotic item. Once the event is over, that's it! It's over, now everyone who toiled and ground out that event to get the exotic, truly has something to be envied. Something that few have earned, and nobody ever will again. THAT IS EXOTIC, THAT IS WHAT WE WANT.
Which brings me to my closing topic. Now everyone on the Destiny team is thinking. Well the people who don't have much time to play are shit out of luck. If it were me I'd say, "yea, to bad." However it's not me, and if you think everyone who badly plays will be sore about it. Implement a "pokemon" style trading system within the tower. This way people can have the oppritunity to trade for an exotic they missed out on. END RANT: EAT MY SHORTS XÜR
Shout out to DirtyRed! He came up with the basic idea.

Not everyone feels that way. I personally feel like since everything is RNG you don't earn anything you are given. It's pure luck. If anything doing the weekly on the hardest difficulty to save up enough coins to buy something from Xūr is more 'earning it' than anything else in this game. Exotic doesn't mean rare it just means different. If they take away Xūr then what is the point of the weeklys? What is the point of coins or even the motes? nothing! You're asking them to change the whole game because you want to feel special. Quit crying. They're are plenty of actual bugs and servers that need fixing before you bitch about stupid shit.
