Mostly true, but it would be silly to say that making elemental primaries exotic is idiotic. Nobody wants the exact same -blam!-ing load out. Year one was great, sure. Being able to cover every activity with a last word and a Fate bringer meant everything was both boring as -blam!-ing shit and with absolutely no variety. It's not a big deal, and Im pretty sure most people say exotics are​ underpowered anyway.
