My biggest problems with Destiny 2 are:
1. I get a ton of rare drops early on with a character, but can't really use them because the legendary or exotic variants are always better. This means that, even if I really like a blue drop that I get, I will have to get rid of it
2. I really like the perks of a piece of exotic armor, but I hate how it looks (my example: hunter Foetracer helmet)
My proposed solutions:
1. Add exotic weapon/armor mods that add 10 to the base power (similar to how legendaries add 5). This would allow you to use a piece of armor that you visually like, but also add a perk you'd only normally be able to get with an exotic (e.g. enemy tracking from Foetracer helmet)
2. Use the equipped mod to determine whether something is rare, legendary, or exotic. This would allow players to keep the weapons and armor they get attached to early on in their journey, but convert them to legendaries or exotics, so they're still useful

So..... you want to make exotics worthless? And if you can put exotic mods on all your armor then your character would be game breakingly op because you can bypass the one exotic limit
