New economies - acquiring exotics

Intro (This morning I received my third monte carlo. It will go well with to my collection of plan C's. It seems to me like a lot of people fail to receive exotics and when they do always get the same exotics. This is very frustrating. What should be an exhilarating moment, when you see that yellow color appear, is a total letdown. Others have fine collections of nearly every exotic, but can not get that last exotic they want. I for one have only received 2 exotics that I did not already own. I got plan C at the end of octobre and got monte carlo somewhere in november. After that i got 2 more monte carlo's and another plan C. I already received some other exotics, but only exotics I already bought from XUR.) Main text below What would be a great addition is a way to choose which exotics you get. For example, every time you complete a roc strike, you receive one token. Once you have collected 100 tokens, you can buy any exotic in the game from a vendor. Before you say that would trivialize exotics, consider what 100 tokens mean. You have to complete 10 roc strikes for that. Since a roc strike takes about 10-12 minutes, lets round this off to 5 strikes/hour (while in reality it'll be more like 4 considering all the loading screens). Thats means it'll take 20 to 25 hours of playing strikes to be able to buy an exotic. That is an obscene amount of time, and is clearly the epitome of "earning" a weapon. Another idea is to have a similar system with marks. You get 1 mark per Roc strike completion. Once you have 30 marks or something, you can buy a totem. This totem guarantees you that the next time you get an exotic it will be one of you choice. So say you buy a totem, you'll still have to get an exotic to drop. however, it'll actually be something you want. let me know what you think down below
