Exotics should be god-tier. They should also be extremely rare. It's what you pull out when something really nasty needs to be put down.
And I realize I'm about to put myself out in the cold but, exotics should not be usable in the crucible.
If you want exotics to be worth being rare then they can't be included in the pvp meta. If you want to use exotics in pvp then they have to be balanced against the other weapons.

Good point. Exotics being too OP in crucible led to the nerf marathon, that finally made almost all of them mediocre.

Exactly. The exotics used to actually feel exotic. They allowed them to be used in a competitive arena where not all of the participants had access to the same quality of weapons. It imbalanced the contest making nerfs necessary to level the playing field. Bungie should have known better. But, they came from a game design where all of the weapons were available and were unique for their purpose: one sniper rifle, one kind of shotgun, etc. There designers were, and continue to be, two dimensional thinkers.

Yeah a pure shooter is quite different to a loot based game ;-) They had enough time by now to figure that out, though. If they had taken a look at Defiance back then, they could have realized the balancing issues with loot based PvP before the release of Destiny... And that PvP needs action apart from PvE.

Definitely. Like I said, two dimensional thinking.

Unfortunately.
