I have yet to receive my first exotic that's my class, so why don't you stop your whining and let other people have the exotics they want? If you don't like to encouter other people who have the same exotic you have, then don't use your exotic! Then you can at least make other people's exotic weapons/armor feel more exotic. Dismantle it. You can get a nice yellow shard for it! Yeey!
I've been waiting for months now for Xur to sell the exotic items I want. If Bungie will make it even harder to earn strange coins (no matchmaking for weekly's) and Xur keeps selling specific weapons/armor only once per two, three months then what's the friggin fun in the game? You can only use one exotic weapon and one exotic armor piece at the same time, so this makes the chance that you encounter someone who has exactly your weapon/armor even smaller. Besides that, people who are below level 20 are (for some weird reason) not even allowed to use something exotic! Why? Will they break it? Will they be too powerful? We don't want that! It's not that we're under attack by evil aliens!
So stop saying &!#^%&^$% like "we all feel this way"^. A lot of people don't feel the way you feel.
The definition of exotic is by the way "not native" unless you're talking about an exotic dancer.... he/she can be native...

All the endgame equipment has a level requirement of 20 on it. Its incredibly common to have top teir weapons require max level in most games with a level system/rpg/MMO structure. Its so you don't gjally your way through the story and to make level cap feel rewarding. Honestly I'm suprised you were suprised about that.
