EDIT: I seem to have some bad info in the post below. Venture at your own peril.
1. You don't have to pay an exotic shard to Xur to trade in your old exotic. just glimmer, a strange coin, and the aforementioned exotic.
2. Exotics don't have to be leveled in order to trade it. They could be completely stock and xur will still take them.
3. If you fully leveled up an exotic after they made the change knowing that you were wasting a shard if you wanted to trade it in later, that's your fault. They told you about the reset at the same time they told you that shards were needed now. Don't blame them for a lack of patience.
4. New eotics are going to require less xp that before. This might mean less upgrade nodes which could equate to having to spend less glimmer.
Realisticly, to reset an exotic it will cost you: 7000 glimmer and 1 coin. To upgrade it it'll cost: XP, an unknown amount of glimmer, and a shard. Oh and mats.
It's not that bad. Plus if you don't want to fork up the 7 coins for a shard, you can dismantle an excess exotic. A fully upgraded on will give you 2 shards, a 14 coin value. That's almost the cost of a new exotic weapon from xur. That's not too bad.

Edited by MIA Philly: 12/7/2014 4:15:40 PMyou do have to give them a shard to upgrade and it costs 7 coins. "New Exotic Upgrading Exotic Gear in The Dark Below will have higher Attack and Defense values than current Exotic Gear. For players and their current caches of Exotics, a path will exist to bring them forward into The Dark Below. Starting December 9th, Xûr will offer players the opportunity to upgrade Exotics to the higher Attack and Defense values [b]Upgrading an Exotic in this way will require an Exotic Shard[/b] << HERE The upgrade will reset the progression invested into the item Each week, Xûr will possess a selection of upgrades for existing Exotics in his inventory" also i have dismantled some fully maxed armor and it only gives you ONE shard not two.

Edited by ooperz: 12/7/2014 4:25:29 PMThe two shard thing must be rng then. I've gotten 2 a couple times, but only from maxed exotics. I also put a disclaimer about having bad information at the top of my post.

1. you do have to pay an exotic shard to upgrade. 2. they didnt when they uploaded the patch it was a 2-3 days of no information and the information about the reset was a leak from GI 3. the do require less exp but it is only 17% on weapons and 1.5% on armors. thats hardly anything instead of 20 bounties you have to do 17 for weapons. Don't even count that fcking 1.5% on armors.

Yes, you do have to Pay a shard to upgrade it. "New Exotic Upgrading Exotic Gear in The Dark Below will have higher Attack and Defense values than current Exotic Gear. For players and their current caches of Exotics, a path will exist to bring them forward into The Dark Below. Starting December 9th, Xûr will offer players the opportunity to upgrade Exotics to the higher Attack and Defense values Upgrading an Exotic in this way will require an Exotic Shard << HERE The upgrade will reset the progression invested into the item Each week, Xûr will possess a selection of upgrades for existing Exotics in his inventory"

I'm pretty sure there was a week between the switch to shards and the info about trading in exotics for higher lvl exotics.

Your almost correct. But when upgrading you have to give xur 7000 glimmer [b]1 exotic shard[/b] and the original exotic. That being said I am one of the people that is ok with this system.
