Be that as it may, there were a lot of complaints in year 1 about drop rates and how exotics should have been quest and people that were lucky enough to get them all usually got them in the first 1 - 2 weeks. I know the people I normally play with and I had all of the exotics from the TDB and HoW (non poe and hard raid) within the first 2 weeks. And what happens after you have all the exotics? There's nothing else to do besides PvP and people complained about it. A lot. What other way is there to fix that beside making exotic quests, then putting them behind a time gate. No time gate meant people would have just completed all the quests within the first 2 weeks, then the complaining would have started again
