Being someone who plays crucible pretty often and also frequents the forums pretty often I can tell you that I see someone complaining about a certain exotic (thorn, last word, or vex ETC) everyday. But bungie can only do so much without rendering the guns unusable.
The solution? A playlist where only legendary tier gear and below is allowed. This includes exotic armor pieces.
This way PvP players who are sick of seeing these exotic weapons have a place to put up or shut up, the exotics in question can be left where they stand AND since bungie wants crucible to be on an even playing field as much as possible, this is the best way to achieve that.
The hardcore PvP players will enjoy this since no one has an exotic and there's such a wide range of legendaries you'll see more variety in the weapons being used and since most legendaries have roughly the same TTK (time to kill) you have to play that much better to stay ahead of the pack since the gun in your hand is on par with everyone else.
Feel free to add any questions or comments below. Stay cool, Guardians.

This would involve Bungir actually BALANCING Crucible, mate. Regular Crucible is a joke. I'm all for a legend-only (including armor) playlist. I own tons of exotics but would much rather roll with my trusty legends.
